Sanya Malhotra

“I can really harsh on myself.”

“I feel like a star while signing autographs.”

“When I am choosing a role, I follow my instinct.”

“I am so self-critical.”

“Not everyone is a good dancer but you just have to enjoy doing it. Dance as if no one is watching.”

“My mother used to call me everyday after moving to Mumbai and would tell me to take up this course or join some distance learning course and to please do my Masters, but, yeah... I didn't do it.”

“I don't want to restrict myself and want to work in all genres of cinema.”

“When I decided to become an actor, I realised that every role that we play on screen requires a different kind of prep. I learnt wrestling for 'Dangal,' went through an emotional grind for 'Photograph' and stepped out of my comfort zone and shed too many inhibitions for 'Pataakha.'”

“I'm not competitive at all.”

“I was a crazy Shah Rukh Khan fan. I was also a huge Madhuri Dixit-Nene fan.”

“It's really important to prove yourself as a performer and as an actor.”

“Nawazuddin is an inspiration for me. He's is one of the spectacular actors of Indian cinema.”

“I don't concentrate about stardom as I always wanted to be an actor and remain to be the same.”

“I always wanted to work with Ayushmann Khurrana and I wished that I would get a good script to team up with him.”

“It's a joy that I have such an amazing cast to work with in 'Ludo.' There's Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Bachchan, Fatima Sana Sheikh and Aditya Roy Kapur with me. It's a cool bunch to work with.”

“There is so much to explore in Delhi. The city has many interesting experiences in terms of places and foods to offer. There are so many options that one is usually spoilt for choice.”

“Even though I feel I am a bit reticent and shy, performing arts like dancing and acting is like my alter ego.”

“I was always interested in dancing and doing extracurricular activities.”

“It is really hard for me to impress myself with the work that I do.”
