The film industry is my happy place

MEGHANA RAJ SARJA HAS RISEN FROM THE ASHES AND IS ALL SET TO MAKE A COMEBACK TO THE BIG SCREEN

- NAMITA GUPTA

After having acted in all the four South Indian languages, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada, Meghana Raj Sarja gave acting a break after she got married to fellow Kannada actor Chiranjeevi Sarja. Meghana won several film awards and acted in around 40 films with some of the top actors. After dating for almost a decade, she tied the knot with Chiranjeevi Sarja in May 2018. But life wasn't a bed of roses and as fate would have it, Chiru Sarja breathed his last following a cardiac arrest in June 2020. Meghana was expecting their first child then and their son Raayan Raj Sarja was born in October 2020, a few months after his father left us all for heavenly abode. It was a tragedy that shocked the entire South Indian film industry. Meghana's life came crumbling down. She was shattered. She came to a standstill, but she had a little baby to take care of and to raise without a father. She has been a fabulous mom to her son and while giving him all the time and attention he needs.

Meghana is now back in the industry after a long hiatus with Tatsama Tadbhava releasing on September 15. Watch out for the star who has everything it takes to be the talk of the town. The inspiring mom opens up about the challenges she faced and the reason that made her come back to the big screen in this heart warming, candid and exclusive interview with Provoke Magazine.
