Indie singer Sanjeeta Bhattacharya is among the six women who have key roles in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan.

“I have gained an experience of a lifetime and infinite bragging rights,” Sanjeeta tells

How did the transition from singing to acting happen?

The transition happened quite seamlessly when I received a message from a casting director asking if I’d like to audition for an advertisement.

This was in October 2020 and I was solely doing music. I thought to myself, why not?

The project went through and I did two more ads that month. By December, I got a call for Netflix’s Feels Like Ishq.

I really enjoyed acting in long-form and decided to explore it further.

I never thought I’d be acting because all my life, I’ve learnt Hindustani classical music and Kathak, but never took lessons in acting.

How did Jawan happen?

I was in Kolkata for a show when I got a call from (Casting Director) Mukesh Chhabra sir’s office to audition for the film.

I was given the audition script, but wasn’t told anything else about the project.

I was told that Helana (her character) is a confident, rebellious girl. She knows what she wants and is sure of herself.

A week later, I got a call back, informing me that I’d been locked for the role.

When you auditioned for the film, did you know you were going to work with Shah Rukh Khan?

When I was finally told that the lead of the film is SRK, I couldn’t believe my ears! I almost dropped the phone!
