Sanjana Sanghi was 14 when Rockstar (2011) fell in her lap. She balanced school assignments on one hand and the demands of working under the baton of Imtiaz Ali on the other. Working closely with Ranbir Kapoor at such a young age imbibed in her a love for acting which hasn't gone away. All these years later, she's still the wide-eyed girl who yearns to give her best on the sets. She has done films like Dil Bechara (2020), with Sushant Singh Rajput, whose memory she still cherishes and Rashtra Kavach Om, an actioner. Her last release was Dhak Dhak, a road movie featuring an all-women cast. She loves every minute of it. After more than a decade in the industry, she has found some sort of stability. Her maxim is to always remain positive, come what may, and learn from both victory and defeat. Excerpts from a heart-to-heart chat with the talented lass.
HOW MUCH FUN DID YOU HAVE WHILE SHOOTING FOR DHAK DHAK?
All four of us – be it Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh and me are different from each other. So working with and then hanging out with such vibrant women was fun. I got to learn so much from Ratna ma’am. Interacting with her, on the sets or even otherwise, sharing stories over tea, has been a rewarding experience, which I’ll cherish forever.
