Sanya Malhotra: I have stopped making career plans

Newcomer Sanya Malhotra, who won millions of hearts with her sterling performance in the blockbuster biographical sports drama, Dangal, is currently busy with a number of her upcoming projects.

She has just finished two films, Junglee Pictures' Badhaai Ho opposite Ayushmann Khurrana and Photograph with versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Both films are starkly different from each other in terms of genre, storyline and theme. While Badhaai Ho is a quirky comedy, Photograph is a serious film.


After wrapping up Badhaai Ho and Photograph, Sanya is now gearing up to begin work on Vishal Bhardwaj’s next venture, Chhuriyaan. The young actress is quite excited about the fact that she has been receiving good opportunities ever since the release of Dangal. “I’m working with great directors and actors, and I’m getting to learn so much about the process of acting. I’m extremely grateful for these experiences,” says she.

The newcomer says that she doesn’t want to make career plans and restrict herself to only one kind of cinema. “I have stopped making career plans; they never seem to work out for me. So, I’m going with the flow, enjoying each day of being an actor. I don’t want to restrict myself and want to work in all genres of cinema. Perhaps I can do a romance or even a horror film soon,” she adds.

Kajol caught in a storm of criticism for saying actors endure more stress than office workers

Highlights:

  • The actress defended her claim that acting demands more than desk jobs in a recent interview.
  • She said office workers can "chill out" during work hours, unlike film stars.
  • Fans and working professionals called her comments privileged and out of touch.
  • The backlash started after her appearance on Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle.
  • Critics pointed out the financial gap and support systems actors have compared to regular employees.

Kajol probably didn't expect this reaction when she sat down with Twinkle Khanna on Two Much. But her comments about actors working harder than people with 9-to-5 jobs have blown up, and not in a good way.
