Sanya Malhotra is currently receiving acclaim for her outstanding performance in the film Mrs. Right, and since her debut in Dangal, she has consistently impressed audiences. In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Sanya revealed how starring alongside Aamir Khan in Dangal significantly benefitted her career. She emphasized, “I mean, everyone works hard. But I believe getting the right opportunity at the right time is very important. Hard work is essential, but having the right opportunity at the right moment makes a difference. For me, Dangal was that opportunity. I truly believe that Dangal opened many doors in my career.”
Continuing, she noted, “I have friends who are still trying to make it big. It’s not that they are working any less hard or that I did something extraordinary—it’s just about getting the right opportunity. If you don’t get that, how will you even move forward?” Sanya reflected on her debut film Dangal, stating that its magnitude opened significant avenues for her. “I am extremely grateful for all the opportunities that followed,” she shared. “I have never taken my work lightly. I know that getting a debut like Dangal is rare, especially for someone from outside the industry.”
As Sanya enjoys the success of her latest drama, Mrs., which was released on ZEE5, this Hindi remake of the Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen has captivated audiences. Directed by Arati Kadav, Mrs. has achieved remarkable milestones since its streaming began on February 7, breaking records by attaining the biggest opening ever on ZEE5. This film also became the most searched Indian movie on Google.
Describing her role, Sanya plays Richa, a professional dance instructor who grapples with societal expectations that confine her to traditional household duties, making it challenging for her to pursue her passion. The film has garnered praise for its engaging story, exceptional performances, and emotional resonance. Alongside Sanya Malhotra, the film also features Nishant Dahiya and Kanwaljit Singh in essential roles.
The impact of Aamir Khan’s Dangal on Sanya Malhotra’s career cannot be underestimated, as it provided her with a solid foundation in the film industry, propelling her towards further success in her acting journey.
