After Dil Bechara (2020), Sanjana Sanghi is ready to tell another story about young love. That said, the two worlds couldn’t be further apart from one another. Where her debut film showed the power of young love in the face of death, her latest offering—Uljhe Hue—chronicles the modern dating scene. Admitting that she didn’t fully identify with her character who hopes to find love on a dating app, Sanghi says, “[My character] wasn’t entirely relatable to me. [Personally], I am a bit old-school. I need to know someone organically and spend a lot of time with [them] to [know that I want] to be with [them]. But I have seen a lot of my friends who have got married or engaged [after meeting on] dating apps. So, I believe in the good these apps can do. As a public figure, I can’t be on them and will always be devoid of that personal experience.”
