At a recent film festival, Sanjana Sanghi inspired audiences not just with her acting but with her powerful message on education and youth empowerment. Known for her role in Dil Bechara, Sanjana is more than a star — she’s a global changemaker.
From Child Actor to Global Advocate
Starting as a child actor, Sanjana’s journey to Bollywood’s leading lady has been remarkable. Now, as a Youth Advocacy Champion with the UNDP, she’s using her platform for social impact.
“Storytelling isn’t just entertainment; it’s a catalyst for change,” she shared, emphasizing how narratives shape society.
Education: The Key to Social Change
A gold medalist from Delhi University, Sanjana knows the transformative power of education. She stressed its role in shaping purpose and driving social progress.
“I watched Emma Watson speak at the UN and thought — this is where real impact begins. Teaching children connected me to this cause,” she said.
Her dream? An organization where no child is uneducated. “Lack of education penetration is the biggest social issue in our country,” she added.
The Pandemic’s Impact on Girls’ Education
Sanjana highlighted the crisis caused by COVID-19: “During the lockdown, 10 million girls dropped out of school, pushed into domestic roles. The number for boys was less than a million.”
This disparity underscores the urgent need to bridge the educational gap.
Lessons from Success and Setbacks
Reflecting on her film OM, which didn’t do well at the box office, Sanjana shared: “That was when I realized ‘process is the prize.’ Despite the outcome, I celebrated the journey with friends because it was rewarding.”
Her honesty resonated, reminding everyone that growth comes from the experience, not just results.
Inspiring Change Through Stories
With grace and sincerity, Sanjana Sanghi left the audience inspired — not just to tell better stories but to become changemakers themselves. Her journey proves that with courage and passion, anyone can make a difference, both on and off-screen.
