Sanya Malhotra is currently basking in the success of her recently released film Jawan. The actress who shared the screen space with Shah Rukh Khan for the same, calls it a ‘dream come true’ moment to work with them. Recollecting her initial days in showbiz, Sanya shared about the time she gatecrashed his event, only to be in the same room as him.
In an interview with Indian Express, Sanya shared she had gatecrashed a press event where Shah Rukh Khan had come. Her roommate used to work for a magazine and once she informed the flatmates that King Khan was coming for an event at a hotel in the city.
“So all of us got ready, got in an auto and left to see him! We were basically gatecrashers and sat in the audience! My friend asked him a question and he said, ‘Good question!’ We got so excited! When he was leaving the room, we all looked at each other and said, ‘He smells so good!’ He still does by the way,” the actress shared.
Speaking about getting to work in Jawan, Sanya revealed that she had to keep this as a secret for almost 2 years and couldn’t even share it with her closest friends.
“So many films came and at every promotion, I used to be asked, ‘So how did you feel to be a part of Jawan?’ I used to give such horrible answers! I was dying to share this information– which I hadn’t even shared with a lot of my friends. Right before I was supposed to kickstart my Kathal promotions, I vividly remember on a Sunday when my manager called me, saying that we need to post the release date and changed motion poster of Jawan! I was like, ‘Are you sure I need to post it?!’ I started jumping!” she recollected.
The actress calling Jawan a ‘surreal moment’ in her career shared, “When Dangal came out, I was so new, it was really overwhelming. My mind was not able to process it but now I am going to complete seven years and now I am able to fully process, be able to enjoy this feeling of being a part of a film as massive as Jawan.”
Helmed by Atlee, Jawan released on September 7. The film also marked the Bollywood debut of actress Nayanthara. Apart from Sanya, Nayanthara and Shah Rukh, the film also starred Priyamani, Girija Oak and newcomers Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan and Aaliyah Qureishi in pivotal roles.
