Sanjana Sanghi on Dil Bechara response: It’s the only balm amidst all these tough things, fans gave Sushant the tribute he deserves – bollywood

Actor Sanjana Sanghi is naturally happy at the moment, with her debut film as a lead opposite late Sushant Singh Rajput, Dil Bechara becoming a smash hit. It created records when it released on an OTT platform recently. While she still mourns the loss of her co-star, she says this has taught her a couple of things.

“Like the power of earnest and honest work. These two years, only the team knows the kind of blood and passion we put into it. The thing with filmmaking is, there’s a lag between when we work and when the audience sees it. In that lag, is the troublesome time, the perception is different from reality. It taught me that true honesty still has place in this world. It taught me the power of love of fans,” gushes the 23-year-old.

Ecstatic at the kind of tribute it turned out to be for Rajput, she continues, “I know how much strength I have derived from crores of people blessing our film, and helping Sushant get the tribute that he deserves. This is the only balm amidst all these tough things.”

. •An Open Letter to Kizie• My Dearest Kizie Basu, 

Just as you wrote to Abhimanyuveer, here I am, writing to you, after being, becoming and creating you. You’ve caused me emotional turmoil, you’ve caused me mental and physical exhaustion, and nights spent wide awake lost in your thoughts – but you’ve given me so much more in return.
Your pain, your despair, your selflessness, your love – is far deeper and greater than you should ever have experienced at your age, and that’s why you Kizie, are far greater and beyond your years.
 You have taught me strength, you have taught me patience, resilience, and you have taught me to never ever lose hope. You have taught me that just because people may not understand you, and the depth of your emotion, does not mean you should ever stop feeling them. You taught me that the death of someone you love can never mean the death of that love. You’re so beautifully broken Kizie Basu, if only you knew that a world full of millions now love you. 
But you’ve always been oblivious to how beautiful and special you are, and that’s what makes you, so imperfectly perfect. 
Your best kept secrets are now out for the world to know – your obsession with AV, your dislike for Sandesh, your fear of death, your being fractured from within but trying your best to appear woven together and complete from the outside, but most importantly – your limitless, unconditional, undying, and passionate love for Immanuel Rajkumar Junior. Your’s and Manny’s mystical timeless love is the least you both deserve.

It first took months of relentless work and preparation to become you, and now letting you go has been simply impossible. You have both wounded, and healed me Kizie Basu – but you have made me want to tell stories for the rest of my life. Seri? ❤️ Yours forever, Sanjana Sanghi 18/08/2020 #SushantSinghRajput 🙏@castingchhabra @roo_cha @suprotimsengupta @foxstarhindi @disneyplushotstarvip @arrahman @sahilvaid24 @swastikamukherjee13 #DilBechara

She recalls how the experience was shooting with Rajput, and how he’d always ensure she was comfortable throughout the shoot.

“For the audience, it’s just a film, but for us as artistes, over two years of our life went into this. Sushant and I did it together, and from the first reading, they are all such stark, clear memories. Literally, when I think, I’m back in that room again, shooting in Jamshedpur, such a complicated, emotional narrative we were telling. It really required us to be in tune on another level,” tells us Sanghi.

She further reveals how Rajput was as a co-star, “We really needed to be in touch with each other and our craft. It was yin and yang kind of situation. I depended on him a lot and vice versa, there was a lot of perspective he drew from me. We would typically think a debutante would entirely depend on a senior actor, he was so humble and generous with his love and advice, he wanted it in equal amounts. I found a friend and partner through and through.”

During the course of the legal proceedings following Rajput’s untimely death, Sanghi had been called to Mumbai for questioning. And the Instagram story by her post that left many wondering if she was planning to quit films.

However, she clarifies that it was blown out of proportion. “I’m too honest and candid a person and I want to continue to remain that way. Just because things will be misconstrued, I don’t want to change that. But, that day I realised what I’m saying and what’s conceived, there’s a big gap. I’ve become a little more careful with my words. I flew into Mumbai and went out, it was a pandemic and I will go back when I need to. I’m here to stay and makes tonnes of more films, being in Mumbai, Los Angeles, wherever it takes,” Sanghi ends.
