Playing Richa, a character grappling with the delicate balance between tradition and ambition, was an immense honour and responsibility, given that it embodies the struggles of so many Indian women. Our endeavour to breathe life into this story has been incredibly rewarding and I am eagerly awaiting to share it with the world."

Apart from this film, Sanya has several interesting projects in her kitty. She will be seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
