<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSanya Malhotra<\/a> is celebrating a decade in acting this year. Her big break came in 2016 with Aamir Khan<\/a>‘s \u2018Dangal\u2019, portraying wrestler Babita Kumari. Despite limited screen time, she built a strong reputation through standout roles in acclaimed mid-budget films and major commercial hits.<\/p>\n Hailing from Delhi as an outsider, Sanya Malhotra carved her path in showbiz independently. Yet, mastering the art of turning down uncomfortable patterns proved her biggest challenge. \u201cI learnt how to say no over time. Now, I say it quite easily. But it took me some time. Na bolne se pehle mujhe panic attack aa jaata tha(I used to have panic attacks before I said no). I used to wonder, how do I say no? I would be worried that if I do that, I may not get work after that. And even if I somehow did it, I would carry this guilt for months on end. Apart from me not getting more opportunities, mujhe yeh darr lagta tha ki unko bura lag gaya hoga. (I was afraid that he might have been offended),” she tells News18.<\/p>\n The actress now follows a mantra of being polite yet firm. \u201cYou need to understand this that a film is a director\u2019s medium. But you, as an actor, can definitely give your suggestions. Sometimes, they listen to you and sometimes, they don\u2019t. But I learnt it the hard way that if I don\u2019t say no, it would mean that I\u2019m only living their dream and doing things their way instead of living my own life,” she remarks.<\/p>\n Recently featured in \u2018Toaster\u2019, the actress elaborates, \u201cI believe that there\u2019s a way to put your point across. If you do it in the right way, then there\u2019s no problem. If it\u2019s about a stunt, then you\u2019ll really have to put your foot down. You can\u2019t take these things so lightly.”<\/p>\n Directed by Vivek Daschaudary, the film stars Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Archana Puran Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye<\/a>, Vinod Rawat, Jitendra Joshi, and Seema Pahwa in lead roles.<\/div>\nSanya Malhotra opens up about being an outsider
