Sanya Malhotra: 'My Desire Is To Be Known As A Very Good Actor'
Sanya Malhotra says that she desires to be known as a very good actor among the masses and will take up all the right opportunities that comes her way.
Like
every
newcomer,
Sanya
Malhotra's
hopes
were
also
pinned
to
her
debut
Dangal
but
the
actor
says
she
did
not
expect
the
2016
sports
drama
to
be
a
career-changing
experience.
Since
the
Nitesh
Tiwari-directed
film,
the
26-year-old
actor
starred
in
the
rustic
comedy
Pataakha
this
year.
She
will
follow
it
up
with
Badhaai
Ho
opposite
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Sanya
says
she
is
lucky
to
have
been
offered
a
wide
range
of
roles
early
in
her
career.
"The
kind
of
response
I
got
after
Dangal
was
amazing.
I
did
not
expect
that.
I
thought
I
will
have
to
go
through
several
rounds
of
auditions
even
now.
I
had
not
thought
that
one
film
will
make
this
much
difference
to
my
career.
Three
days
after
Dangal
released,
I
got
a
call
from
Ritesh
Batra
for
Photograph.
It
was
going
to
be
my
second
film
but
Pataaka
released
first," Sanya
told
PTI.
Being
an
actor
was
always
her
dream
and
Sanya
says
she
understands
she
needs
to
make
the
most
of
every
opportunity
that
comes
her
way.
"Acting
is
important
to
me.
My
work
and
craft
is
more
important.
My
desire
is
to
be
known
as
a
very
good
actor," she
adds.
Before
her
forthcoming
film,
Badhaai
Ho
happened,
the
actor
said
she
had
completed
work
on
Ritesh
Batra's
Photograph.
She
says
taking
up
a
dramedy
after
Batra's
intense
film
was
a
challenge.
"There
was
a
huge
difference.
Ritesh
Batra's
set
was
like
a
monastery,
while
Amit
Sharma's
set
had
a
party
atmosphere.
I
was
disoriented
for
about
two-three
days
on
the
sets
of
Badhaai
Ho,"
she
says.
The
story
of
Badhaai
Ho
revolves
around
an
elderly
couple,
played
by
Neena
Gupta
and
Gajraj
Rao,
who
find
out
they
would
be
turning
parents
for
the
third
time,
much
to
the
discomfort
of
their
children
and
society.
Sanya
says
there
should
be
no
judgments
about
someone's
personal
decision."
"The
film
talks
about
romance
and
it
has
no
age.
Why
can't
older
couples
have
sex?
This
is
normal
and
it
is
high
time
people
stopped
judging
others
and
their
personal
decisions.
They
are
married
and
they
can
have
babies
at
whatever
age
they
want,"
she
says.
Also
featuring
veteran
actor
Surekha
Siri,
the
film
releases
on
October
18,
2018.
