Sanjana Sanghi has throughout her career worked in both theatrical productions and OTT streaming films.

She has not appeared in any web series throughout her career. The wait for her first long format content appearance has ended because she will soon appear in this type of program.

Sanjana said, “I am really excited about finally being able to venture into the streaming space in terms of doing a show. I haven’t done a long-format show up till now. There has been a lot of material over the years that kind of came my way but I feel a show is such a big commitment because that character can run across seasons. I have been very selective in that. But I am excited about doing that.”

When inquired more about the show, the Dil Bechara actress said, “It hasn’t gone on floors yet. It went through a slightly stop and start kind of a journey but I am really hoping that in the second half of this year we are finally on floors because I am really itching to kick off on that.”

Sanjana still has one more box to tick as an actor. “What I really want to do now honestly is a comedy.”

she said. “It’s something all the filmmakers I have worked with also tell me that they feel like I have this comic timing that I have explored very minimally in my characters thus far. An out and out comedy will be really fun to do.”

Her general criteria to take up roles is quite sorted. “I am always looking out for that girl that’s fully rounded.”

she said. “Who has her weaknesses and strengths; who may not be perfect, but is a whole and very fleshed out woman. I think as women we have lots of colours to us we are not one dimensional.”

Sharing about her other upcoming projects, Sanjana said, “I am excited about Dhak Dhak sequel whenever it finally goes on floors. I have also been exploring international work in terms of languages not just Hindi. Because of Netflix and Amazon I feel like the world has become one place. So there are a lot of queries and auditions being coming in that regard as well which I am actively pursuing.”

Sanjana participated in The Women in Power Conference at Harvard Kennedy School and has recently been featured in the media.
