She opens up about the contrasts between growing up in Delhi vs. living in Mumbai, the struggles of balancing academia with acting, and the social trade-offs of early fame. Beyond the film world, Sanjana discusses her role as a UNDP Youth Champion, her curriculum for emotional education in schools, and the urgent need for youth voices in policy-making.
Expect laughs, introspection, and a deep dive into the intersection of Bollywood, activism, and Gen Z leadership. Oh, and yes—Cyrus makes sure there’s plenty of mischief too.
