Long before she became the face of Dil Bechara, Sanjana Sanghi stepped into Bollywood at just 14 with Imtiaz Ali’s musical drama Rockstar. The actress played Mandy Kaul, the younger sister of Nargis Fakhri’s Heer Kaul, in the Ranbir Kapoor-led film. Even at a young age, Sanjana managed to hold her own on a set filled with established names.
In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Sanjana opened up about never feeling star-struck around actors, working with Ranbir Kapoor as a teenager, and how her early training helped her remain confident on film sets. Scroll on to know what the actress had to share.
Sanjana Sanghi Says Only Hrithik Roshan Can Make Her ‘Almost Faint’
Recalling her early days in Bollywood, Sanjana Sanghi admitted that despite working with some of the industry’s biggest names at a young age, she surprisingly never felt star-struck. “Actually, any filmmaker that you ask or talk to who I have even worked with when I was just growing up, like when I was 13 or 16, one thing I have never been is star-struck. ”
She added, “And it’s not that I don’t look at them with awe or think of them with awe, of course, I do. But somehow I don’t flutter and mutter and stutter when I see them. I think apart from Hrithik Roshan there is no one who will have me kind of just stumbling and almost fainting.”
The actress further explained that staying calm and confident helped her navigate intimidating film sets at a very young age. She said, “And I think that is maybe what allowed me, at such a young age, to be able to handle those rooms. Because I was placed in rooms that were far beyond my age very early. And you know, you are just figuring it out on intuition.”
Sanjana Sanghi Says She Never Froze Around Big Stars As A Teenager
The Dil Bechara actress said, “Because otherwise, as a teenager, when you are suddenly placed in front of a film camera on an Imtiaz Ali set in front of Ranbir, you can really freeze, right? But I think my training, maybe as a Kathak dancer, always being on stage, always being a debater. So, I was always very confident with performance. I was confident in front of the mic. Maybe those things helped me. I can’t put a finger on it.”
Sanjana also shared the biggest lesson she carried from those experiences and how seemingly small skills eventually helped her later in life and career. “But the only thing I learnt from it is that you don’t know how, when you are doing something, it will help you in life later. I think that’s the biggest learning.”
