‘This is not fun, he was supposed to be by my side’: Sanjana Sanghi on promoting Dil Bechara without her co-star Sushant Singh Rajput

Actress Sanjana Sanghi, who is making her debut in a lead role in Dil Bechara in the most unfortunate of circumstances, has said that even the fans’ love isn’t enough to make things better after the death of her co-star Sushant's.

In an interview with CNN News 18, Sanjana said: “This is not fun. If given a choice, I wouldn’t ever have it this way. I’m only doing this, I feel, because I want him to look over and be proud and be happy. If it were up to me, I would probably be cooped up in a corner, not have the courage to like to chat with you right now, because it wasn’t supposed to be this way.”

“He was supposed to be by my side, we were supposed to tell you these anecdotes together. And I don’t know, there is nothing like that makes this better, you know. The love that people are giving helps but it still doesn’t fix anything,” she added.

As the film’s lead actor, Sanjana Sanghi has been thrust into the limelight in the weeks leading up to its release, on Disney+Hotstar. Sanjana Sanghi said in an interview with Hindustan Times, “It’s not possible for a human being to feel such extremes of both happiness and gratitude for the fact that it’s my debut as a lead coming out. But the grief and shock of losing my partner-in-crime has left me in this weird, numb space. I’m too young to deal with such things, and trying to do my best to fulfil my commitments. It’s only when the storm will end, will I be able to sit back and really look into what I’m feeling.”

 “I don’t know about the illness part of it because that’s not how your mind works when you are with a person. If he would have let something off to me or told me, then I would have had that conversation. But he never did,” Sanjana said that Sushant never talked to her about what he was going through mentally.
