About this Article

As an aspiring singer, Ashika Sachdev was excited to help her TV production class at Barrington High School with a video contest that would be judged by Rihanna. “For Rihanna to see me sing, and just (see) the video itself, it'd be a great experience,” she said. So it's an understatement to say the high school senior was ecstatic when she found out that her class had won the “Shine Bright Like A Diamond” student video contest — named after one of pop star's hit songs.
