Actress Sanjana Sanghi, known for her touching performance alongside the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput in the film *Dil Bechara*, has always been recognized not only for her acting skills but also for her kind and caring nature. Outside of her film career, she has been actively involved in various humanitarian and social initiatives, which she considers essential in keeping her grounded and connected to real life.
In a recent conversation, Sanjana discussed how her work in the social sector provides her with a sense of perspective, balance, and emotional strength, especially in the fast-paced and often unpredictable world of film.
“My Humanitarian Work Is What Keeps Me Rooted”
When asked about how her off-screen activities shape her as a person, Sanjana said, “My humanitarian work has given me a sense of being rooted and connected to reality.
Acting can sometimes become so intense that it’s easy to lose sight of what’s truly important. Working with communities, particularly with young people, reminds me of the real things that matter.”
Sanjana is associated with several non-profit organizations and youth-focused projects, focusing on areas such as education, gender equality, and mental health awareness.
She believes that contributing to social causes brings her a deep sense of fulfillment that fame alone cannot provide.
“Whenever I visit schools or connect with children through NGOs, I feel grounded.
Their enthusiasm, perseverance, and dreams inspire me. It puts life into perspective — you realize that success isn’t about red carpets or awards; it’s about the positive changes you can bring to someone’s life,” she shared.
Finding Balance Between Stardom and Service
Sanjana, who began her acting journey as a child artist in *Rockstar* and later made her debut with *Dil Bechara*, said that the film industry can be overwhelming.
For her, the balance between acting and social work is crucial to her emotional well-being.
“The film industry is full of ups and downs.
You’re constantly being judged, compared, and scrutinized. My humanitarian work helps me stay calm and reminds me that there’s more to life than box office numbers or social media validation,” she explained.
She also noted that working with people from all walks of life has enhanced her empathy — something she believes also influences her performances.
“As actors, our job is to understand human emotions. When you interact with real people who are going through real struggles, you develop empathy and emotional intelligence. It makes you not only a better person but also a better performer,” she said.
Advocacy for Youth and Mental Health
Sanjana has been a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, particularly among young people.
She frequently uses her platform to discuss self-care, emotional resilience, and the importance of seeking help.
“I’ve always believed that if you have a public platform, you must use it responsibly.
Our generation faces a lot of pressure — to succeed, to look perfect, and to keep up with everything. Through my work, I try to remind people that it’s okay to slow down, to be vulnerable, and to ask for help,” she shared.
Her initiatives often include partnerships with educational institutions and non-profits to foster conversations around emotional well-being and equality.
Looking Ahead
Professionally, Sanjana continues to explore a variety of roles in films and OTT platforms.
After *Dil Bechara*, she appeared in *Rashtra Kavach Om* and *Dhak Dhak*, and is currently working on new projects that reflect her growing artistic vision.
Despite her rising fame, Sanjana remains deeply committed to her social work.
“Acting gives me expression, but my humanitarian work gives me purpose,” she said. “Both parts of my life complete me in different ways.”
Fans Praise Her Depth and Maturity
Fans have praised Sanjana for her sincerity and maturity at such a young age.
Many have taken to social media to commend her for using her voice for the greater good. Comments like “Beauty with purpose” and “A true role model for today’s youth” frequently appear on her social media posts.
In a world where fame often overshadows humility, Sanjana Sanghi stands out as a young artist who knows exactly where her heart lies — with the people, the causes, and the stories that truly matter.
