Sanya Malhotra’s Struggles

Sanya Malhotra’s struggles was of 6 years. 

While talking about her dream to iforher she mentioned-

I was that kid who danced at every wedding. I didn’t need any kind of incentive–just music! My parents would take me to all the family weddings because they knew I’d dance my heart out. I loved it so much! I even danced in competitions & when I got to college I was a part of the Choreography Society. We’d spend 8 hours dancing every day! I was so passionate–but my real dream was to act.

How Sanya Malhotra hid her dream from everyone from the fear for being laughed out-

I never revealed this to anyone back home. I thought I’d be laughed at or ridiculed. After all it’s a big dream. But I thought maybe I could get to acting through dancing! So I applied for Dance India Dance & got to the top 100. But I got rejected because my backstory wasn’t strong. That’s when I thought maybe I wasn’t meant to perform at all.

But Sanya never let rejections stopping her from achieving her dream-

That show may have rejected me but it’s what got me to Bombay. I owed it to myself to at least try. So I told my dad about acting. To my surprise he was supportive! So I began auditioning.

To achieved dream it never easy but hers was exception-

But it was hard–I lived with 6 roommates & there were days when they’d all go out to work & I’d be sitting at home. It was demotivating & I often felt like leaving.

But she made sure that she never gave up and thats how she got the movie Dangal-

But I reminded myself of my dream to perform. Slowly I learnt the ropes of the business got in touch with casting directors & acted in ads. There were still months when I didn’t get a call back & I worried about my dwindling bank balance. But I kept going & ended up doing 10 ads in a year! I built my self-esteem & promised to never doubt myself.Eventually I got my first audition–Dangal! I remember I was against 30 other girls but I just knew I’d be selected. Someone was taking a BTS video & I remember telling her ‘I’m pakka in this film!’ I was that confident! And I got the role.I’ll never forget that feeling that everything had finally been worth it. I’d loved performing ever since I was a kid & now here I was–on the big screen. Ever since I’ve relished every single role I’ve done.
While I don’t doubt myself anymore I know I’m still learning. Nobody’s perfect but that doesn’t mean you can’t try! This is just the beginning there’s much more to do. But I’ve got my dancing shoes & boxing gloves on–I’m ready.
