“I lived with 6 flatmates and yes, at one point there were 11 people in the house!” Sanya revealed. Despite the chaos, she looks back at that time fondly.
Reflecting on her mindset during those years, she said, “I guess I was way more carefree back then since there wasn’t much to worry about. We had nothing to lose or gain. Sometimes I would think, ‘What am I even doing? Should I go back to Delhi?’ Whenever I had that thought, I used to call my dad. He knew that things don’t just change overnight; they happen slowly over time.”
Sanya also talked about how chasing big dreams in Mumbai required patience and persistence. “When your dreams are really big, you start feeling like, ‘Okay, I’m in Mumbai now, so it’s no big deal, just one more month and one more month, and then another month, and you just keep going.’”

Despite the struggles, the friendships she built during that time became invaluable. “They were great; my roommates are like family to me. Even now, we’re really close. I think I’ve found some really good connections, some soul connections, and I call them my sisters,” she shared warmly.
Her relationships remain a source of joy and comfort. “They’re really close to me, like to this day. I feel so lucky even though we don’t meet every day because of work. My sister got married last year and all my friends from Delhi and the Mumbai crew were all under one roof. That’s when I realized this is success for me. The relationships and friendships I have in my life are the true success. I’ve never felt that happy before. Seeing that, it hit me that this is real happiness.”

For Sanya Malhotra, fame and career milestones are important, but it’s the deep, lasting connections with the people she loves that truly define her success.
