Sanya would love to do a musical like Jagga Jasoos

-

ctor Sanya Malhotra, who came into the limelight with her portrayal of wrestler Babita Phogat in Dangal, said that she would love to do a musical like Jagga Jasoos, keeping in mind her love for dance.

Sanya said that she wants to explore her love for both acting and dancing together.

“I would choose both. I really like dancing, I did the choreograp­hy for Advait Chandan (director of Secret Superstar) because of Aamir (Khan) sir. At first, I thought that it was a joke and when they followed up with me, that’s when I believed it. But if I had to choose between the two [dancing and acting], it would be difficult, and I would choose both. I would love to do a musical, if something good like Jagga Jasoos, comes up. Bollywood is known for its acting and dancing, I wouldn’t want to let either one of it go,” she said.

The actor shared that before Dangal she had no connection with sports: “[The movie] has educated me about sports, it has educated me about fitness, about healthy living. It also made me a confident person not because of the film, but because of the training and wrestling that I got during the filming.”

Sanya also shared that she is not scared of challenges, be it in films or real life. She said, “I am an actor, and we have to face challenges. I am not scared of failure because I have seen zero [nothing] in my life. Before Dangal, I was nothing, and when I moved to Mumbai, I had nothing, I had no money.” Sanya further added, “However, I talk about it positively because I enjoyed every bit of my struggle. I am not scared of challenges, or failure. If I fail, I will get up, I will learn, and I will be ready for something else,” she said.
