Late
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
swansong
Dil
Bechara
clocks
one
year
today
(July
24,
2021).
His
co-star
from
the
film
Sanjana
Sanghi
in
a
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
recalled
the
time
when
the
film
released
amid
the
furore
of
the
actor's
untimely
demise.
She
also
opened
up
on
the
bond
that
she
shared
with
the
late
star.
Recalling
their
first
meeting
in
director
Mukesh
Chhabra's
office,
Sanjana
revealed
that
she
and
Sushant
hit
it
off
instantly
when
they
realized
that
they
both
are
nerds
and
share
a
common
love
for
academics
and
food.
The
actress
told
ETimes,
"We
met
for
the
first
time
at
Mukesh
(Chhabra,
director)
sir's
office,
where
we
did
our
reading.
Within
five
minutes
of
the
meeting,
we
realised
that
we
both
are
nerds,
are
obsessed
with
everything
academic
and
lived
for
the
love
of
food!
The
other
common
point
of
interest
was
Delhi.
While
I
hailed
from
Delhi,
he
had
studied
there.
The
performances
you
see
in
the
film
are
all
because
of
teamwork
as
it's
a
completely
performance-oriented
movie.
It
didn't
boast
of
any
fancy
song
sequences
or
stunts,
but
relied
on
human
emotions
and
relationships."
She
also
talked
about
the
one
thing
she
learnt
from
her
late
co-star
and
said,
"The
one
thing
Sushant
taught
me
was
to
save
my
energy.
He
made
me
realise
how
important
it
was
to
conserve
energy
by
not
putting
in
all
of
it
when
not
required,
for
instance,
the
wide-angle
shots.
He
used
to
call
it
'rationing' of
the
energy.'
On
being
asked
if
she
taught
the
film
received
the
attention
it
deserved
for
the
right
reasons
after
the
passing
away
of
her
co-star,
Sanjana
explained,
"It
was
all
supposed
to
be
different,
right?
Like,
all
of
it!
But
once
everything
just
changed
the
way
it
did...
there
was
no
looking
back.
The
day
the
film
released,
it
created
records
with
millions
of
people
watching
the
movie
on
the
first
day.
That's
an
unreal
number.
With
the
kind
of
love
and
respect
the
film
got,
how
can
I
have
any
regrets?
It
was
quite
an
ode."
She
continued,
"Sushant
and
I
were
excited
about
the
project
through
its
making.
We
would
discuss
which
colleges
we
would
be
visiting
to
promote
the
film.
We
even
thought
of
the
songs
from
the
film
that
we
planned
to
croon
during
the
promotions
and
wondered
whether
we
would
be
able
to
revisit
the
theatre
in
Jamshedpur
where
we
shot
the
film."
Speaking
about
Sanjana's
upcoming
projects,
the
actress
will
next
be
seen
opposite
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
in
Kapil
Verma's
action
thriller
Om:
The
Battle
Within.
