Sanya Malhotra was brought to tears after receiving a standing ovation for her film *Mrs* at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. She shared a video of the emotional moment on her Instagram.
In the video, Malhotra is seen visibly moved as the audience applauds her performance. Following the screening, she discussed her preparation for the role of Richa, revealing that she consulted several women and worked closely with a friend who had similar experiences to those depicted in the film.
Sanya Malhotra shared, "My friend graciously provided her therapy notes, which I read almost daily, feeling both anger and sadness due to our close bond. It pains me to know that some women endure such struggles, accept them, and give up on their dreams."
Malhotra won the Best Actress award for her role in ‘Mrs’ at the New York Indian Film Festival 2024. The film, directed by Arati Kadav, is a remake of the Malayalam film *The Great Indian Kitchen* and explores the challenges and societal expectations faced by Sanya's character in her marital life.
