I wish you were here today, Nani.
Every birthday, I find myself with a lump in my throat, lost in my Nani’s memory yet left with a helpless heap of gratitude for the love I have in my life in the form of the incredible people that surround me.
As I’m growing up, I understand a little bit better of what my Nani lived and swore by that I see in my mother every single day that leaves me in endless awe of these beautiful women- ultimately, love & compassion for our people is ALL that matters in this very short life we all have, that cannot be taken for granted.
Not the achievements. Not the accolades. Not the milestones. Just the love.
Nani was a woman with the largest heart – selfless, generous and empathetic, with only love to give, with no ulterior motive. It was her greatest strength and weakness. Yet she got not just that love, but so much more in return.
Here’s to dedicating my 24th birthday in loving memory of my most incredible Nani.
Alongside my sister, forever partner & birthday twin of 2 decades (@mcmegchad )
Here’s to moving towards a brighter world that thrives in spreading love & compassion.
Thank you, to you all, for giving it to me in such abundance.
Thank you for your ocean of wishes and blessings.
It is both priceless & precious. ❤️🙏
It leaves me astounded.

Also! Happy birthday to Kizie Basu!! 🎂
Even through the film, I told myself we share the same birthday. I just believe we do! 🥺🤍

It’s an odd thing to be envious of your own past. But here I find myself, doing just that. It all becomes, a memory. That you pray lasts forever.
Sandwiched between these two absolute gentlemen – amidst the crisp morning sunshine of a cold Parisian day, the faint smell of coffee being freshly brewed, the joy of creating art together; and conversations that spanned across philosophy, literature, cinema, cricket, success and failure and life, at large.
Here’s wishing a very birthday to our very own Abhimanyuveer! ❤️
Thank you Saif sir, for your generosity and kindness in sharing perspective and such heartfelt encouragement.
Like I’d told you, I wrote my undergraduate college thesis on your film Dil Chahta Hai, and to get to perform in my debut film, with you as Kizie’s Abhimanyuveer? I’ll take it! 🙌🏻☺️ Paris, France
Growing up, we are made to learn that the Indian Constitution visualises India as a nation that will forever uphold the idea of “Unity in Diversity 🇮🇳”
74 years have passed, but the need to truly celebrate this idea has never felt more urgent.
This Independence Day, I get to share with you all a special first – my first ever Magazine Cover!❤️ @themanmagazineindia – @theweek_magazine
In many ways for me, it symbolises independence – from the limitations we place on ourselves of not daring to even dream our dreams. This Independence Day, let’s celebrate independence from all that we think stops us from getting wherever it is that we want to be. Independence from all negativity, toxicity and malice, and be a part of an India we were destined to be.🙏

Let me just tell you what this moment is.
August 2018 : This was my last evening in Jamshedpur, after 2 months of filming in this city. We shot outside Sacred Heart a lot, and the students would spend time with us when school ended, while we were shooting on the streets outside, or they’d wave out to us & wish us luck for the day while going in to school. We’d chat with them about many things under the sun. When they heard the Dil Bechara crew is leaving, they told their principal “We want to tell Kizie something.” When the team told me the girls at Sacred Heart want to meet you before you leave – I took time between scenes, to quickly go and say goodbye to them, thinking a few of us might meet in a classroom and chat about everything that happened in the last 2 months. But they had different plans. They requested to have a study period cancelled, so they could collect all through their corridors, in thousands, wave out to me from up above, and echo in their loudest voices together – “We love you”. They told me they saw themselves in me, and watching me inspired them in ways big & small. This meant the whole world to me. This visual, for the last 2 years, through thick and thin, has brought joyous tears to my eyes. It’s why I have always said that being around students makes me feel alive, it’s why I’ve dedicated a large part of the last 7 years of my life towards educational upliftment initiatives with various NGO partners. Their energy is limitless, and the boundaries of how much love they have to give, simply don’t exist. Thank you, you beautiful beautiful girls of Sacred Heart. I’ve told you how much I love you many times before. I hope watching Dil Bechara made you as happy and proud as having us in your city creating it did.
I know he’s happy & proud, watching over from up above.

This really has been such a long & challenging pandemic.🥺
I know we’re slowly restarting and trying to get back to being out and about.
But the pandemic really isn’t close to being over just yet. We’ve got to be just as safe as we have been all these months of lockdown, as we step into our regular lives.
Just got these amazing masks from @thecarriallco and I’m stoked to pair them in so many different ways because not only do they come in some super fun colors and prints. But they’re also super comfy, breatheable, durable and soft! 💫
So when we move out, let’s never forget to wear a mask.
With Carriall, let’s move out in style.❤️. Available on @flipkart

#HappyTeachersDay
One of the greatest blessings of my life has been the teachers & professors I have had the fortune of crossing paths with while growing up.
Whether in academia, or the performing arts. Each of them, are unique, and so phenomenal, that they continue to be in my life to this day. We celebrate our joys together. And pick each other up when the tide gets rough.
Except today? We’re friends. We discuss everything from the state of education in India to trivial things like how to get our brownie batter just right.
It is them, who inspired me to dedicate a large part of my life to educational upliftment for our country.
I became a teacher volunteer at an NGO in Delhi that I now call home 6.5 years ago, and that was just the starting point of discovering a passion that excited me as much as acting does – being around students, teaching them, but learning so much more from them in return. 6.5 years, many NGO partnerships, city & country tours, and university visits later – my admiration for both teachers and students only stands exponentially heightened. It’s the most special bond in the world. To every teacher out there, thank you, for dedicating your life so selflessly to the greatest cause of education, in any sphere. To every student out there, I’m sorry the pandemic messed up your best laid out plans and kept you out of your educational space for so many months. It’s all going be alright, I promise. We’ll make it alright. ❤️

Moments. Memories. Experiences. Learning. Creation. Liberation. Unison.
Yet another one of the endless moments I’d do anything to relive : Manny, Kizie, Ma-Baba and Durgesh Bhaiya sit down to workshop & do a reading of their favourite script, Dil Bechara. ❤️🙏 #ThinkingOfYou #JusticeForSushant #CBIForSSR
Thank you for sharing. Posted @withregram • @castingchhabra Reading #workshop #BTS @sushantsinghrajput 🙏@sanjanasanghi96 @swastikamukherjee13 @durgesh.kumar.14289210 😊 best days #dilbechara #jamshedpur Jamshedpur
Here are the Baby Sanghi Siblings – from about over 2 decades ago, and nothing stands changed today.
His arm continues to always around me, protecting me.
I continue to be mischievous about something, while he is cautious about just that.
Our other hands, always hand in hand along all of life’s ups and downs.
Our eyes on different targets since we have always dreamt different dreams but have always fulfilled them by each other’s side.
Clearly late to this party with #Rakshabandhan, got super tied up in actually getting to celebrate each other after 4 long years.
@sumersanghi Here’s to you being the kinder, sharper, and more loved one of the two always.
You’re excused for annoying me every single day of the last 23 years.
#Maskhari – a blend of Manny & Kizie’s happiness and togetherness and how Manny simply sparked Kizie’s little world with glee and joy. Song out NOW. ❤️🙏

•An Open Letter to Kizie•
My Dearest Kizie Basu, Just as you wrote to Abhimanyuveer, here I am, writing to you, after being, becoming and creating you.
You’ve caused me emotional turmoil, you’ve caused me mental and physical exhaustion, and nights spent wide awake lost in your thoughts – but you’ve given me so much more in return. Your pain, your despair, your selflessness, your love – is far deeper and greater than you should ever have experienced at your age, and that’s why you Kizie, are far greater and beyond your years.
You have taught me strength, you have taught me patience, resilience, and you have taught me to never ever lose hope.
You have taught me that just because people may not understand you, and the depth of your emotion, does not mean you should ever stop feeling them.
You taught me that the death of someone you love can never mean the death of that love.
You’re so beautifully broken Kizie Basu, if only you knew that a world full of millions now love you. But you’ve always been oblivious to how beautiful and special you are, and that’s what makes you, so imperfectly perfect. Your best kept secrets are now out for the world to know – your obsession with AV, your dislike for Sandesh, your fear of death, your being fractured from within but trying your best to appear woven together and complete from the outside, but most importantly – your limitless, unconditional, undying, and passionate love for Immanuel Rajkumar Junior.
Your’s and Manny’s mystical timeless love is the least you both deserve. It first took months of relentless work and preparation to become you, and now letting you go has been simply impossible.
You have both wounded, and healed me Kizie Basu – but you have made me want to tell stories for the rest of my life.
Seri? ❤️
Yours forever,
Sanjana Sanghi

During my preparation to become Kizie Basu in Dil Bechara, I spent a considerable period of time with young cancer patients and survivors during their support groups sessions. One of my key learnings there, was that the greatest challenge faced by cancer patients in India is getting the right treatment advice first, that can lead to successful treatment. @Oncodotcom is an online cancer care platform, where you can consult the world’s finest cancer doctors, to get the right treatment guidance and lifelong support by being a part of India’s largest cancer support community. With Onco.com, the certainty of simply being better equipped and having the best chance to fight cancer, is far greater. If you or a loved one requires guidance on cancer care, call 7996579965 or visit Onco.com and their experts will guide you.

When things get super heavy & dark – Ma’s always said, “Lighten it up!”💫✨
#Rewind : Here’s a tiny glimpse into us trying to have a little bit of fun with fashion, in my debut press run. ❤️💃
#DilBechara #EPressRun #VocalForLocal
From the bottom most pit of a heart that continues to feel heavy, yet momentarily lightens up owing to your support – for every single fan email, letter, collage, piece of art, blessing and wish – THANK YOU.🙏
Thank you for relentlessly celebrating my work or victories big and small at a time I haven’t been to find in myself – the will or desire to celebrate anything at all.
The sound of the abundance of your love is loud enough to drown out all the noises of negativity.
All I have for you all utmost gratitude.
And all I can do for you, is promise to sincerely give my all to every single opportunity that comes my way on the journey ahead to entertain you, and to hope that I’m able to brighten your days up just like you brighten up mine!
And today, we complete 1 month of Dil Bechara becoming all of yours.🙌🏻
Love & Light! 💛💫
