Sanya Malhotra says she became an actor to live as many lives as possible

Sanya Malhotra, who kick-started her journey into films with Dangal, began with playing a wrestler and went on to do roles, each different from another. In her very next film, Vishal Bhardwaj's Patakhaa, she was stuck in a difficult relationship with her sister. Badhaai Ho and Photograph had further different shades of her to offer. This diversity, Sanya says, is a conscious choice.

Speaking to a leading daily, Sanya shared that she grew up watching a vivid range of movies and shows and also read works of numerous authors. When she began as an actor, she wanted to live as many lives as possible, through the roles she were playing. Saying that the diversity among different characters really attracts her, Sanya added that she would pick a role irrespective of its length if it struck a chord.

Amid a nationwide 21-day lock-down, the actor is in Mumbai while her family is in Delhi. Apart from the usual household chores, she is investing her time in reading, watching new stuff and video-calling her family.

Sanya had been filming for Umesh Bist's Pagglait when the shoots came to a halt. She will be next seen in Anurag Basu's Ludo, alongside Rajkummar Rao.
