The video begins with Arshiya appearing in front of the judges. While introducing herself she said, “I am from Jammu and Kashmir, India. I am a dancer, but I don’t want to be like others. I want to be different. So, I tried incorporating gymnastics and adding some flexible moves into my dance to stand out.” She took permission from AGT judges — Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara to prepare for her dance.
