I was in Delhi’s Lady Shri Ram College where we were doing a street play and Manoj sir directed that play. It was like 30 years ago, I was a student immediately after that he moved to Mumbai and when ‘Satya’ released, for me I was like – ‘I know him, he is my first director, I will meet him when’ I will be an actress’.
“It was strange that ever since I started working as an actress in Mumbai, I never met her properly and of course, never worked together. But it was on my wish list that I was Manoj work with sir or at least meet him as an actress as i was a student at that time with dreams of becoming an actress. i wanted to meet him once and say ‘sir, you remember me, I was the student you directed for a street play!
Sakshi said, “I have maximum scenes and they are all very important, with Neenaji. In the film, there are very tense moments between these two characters. Off-camera, it was the exact opposite! Once the director says ‘cut’ ‘, we’ll just relax. I talk a lot and Nina was very welcoming to that idea, so whenever we got time, we’d have a lot to talk about! We laughed, laughed and the more I told Nina ji Dekha closer, the more I admired her. It was also the first film that I shot after the lockdown, which really gave me a sense of normalcy that otherwise I was stuck in a confined space. I would say the film Wishing me the best of luck in completing many of my tasks! I am very happy!”
