Even as she is upbeat that Bollywood is finally making women-led movies, Sanjana admits she had to make peace with Dhak Dhak’s lack of promotions

In producer Taapsee Pannu’s living room, over a brief narration, Sanjana Sanghi found the film that is an extension of who she is as a person. To her, Dhak Dhak stands for a simple thought: Anything is possible. “I lived in a barsati in Delhi and led a sheltered life. But look how far I have come! Dhak Dhak is a story of path less travelled, and I am trying to do the same,” says Sanghi.
Tarun Dudeja’s directorial venture revolves around four women—essayed by Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanghi—whose biking trip becomes a journey of self-discovery. Sanghi is proud that she has an all-woman film on her resume within three years of foraying into Bollywood. “I don’t want to do safe movies. I could take up that two-bit role in a big film, but I am naturally not making those choices. I’ve learnt from Taapsee that it’s worth doing movies that need you to fight for them to be made and released. These films have an impact more than anything else,” she says.
