Sanya Malhotra has yet again established herself as a talented actress with a huge win at the recently held Dadasaheb Phalke Awards. The actress received 'Best Actress in A Comic Role' for her performance in ‘Kathal’. The award further underlines how Sanya is climbing the ladder to become one of the most sought after performers in the industry.
Sanya delivered a compelling representation in "Kathal," bringing Inspector Mahima Basod, a character from a lower caste, to life with her nuanced performance and great comic timing. The film is set in the imaginary town of Moba and it delves into issues of privilege and power exploitation. As Mahima, Sanya portrayed the role of a powerful female character living in a traditionally male-dominated profession. With her portrayal, she represented resistance and social revolution. Her perfect blend of humour and emotion wowed reviewers and fans alike, winning her international acclaim and respect.
Receiving the Dadasaheb Phalke Award acknowledges her remarkable contributions to Indian cinema and her dedication to delivering impactful performances. Sanya's win is not just her personal achievement but also throws light on the power of storytelling.
Besides 'Kathal', Sanya's acclaimed performances in 'Jawan' and 'Sam Bahadur' highlight her versatility. Sanya is currently preparing for the release of "Mrs." which is a remake of an acclaimed Malayalam film “The Great Indian Kitchen” and is directed by Arati Kadav. She will be seen in “Baby John” with Varun Dhawan.
