After waiting for a decade to star in a dance film, Sanya Malhotra is now ready to take the next step. The actress is determined to make a film herself.
“I’m going to create something of my own. I have waited for 10 years, no one is casting me (in a dance film). Nobody is coming to me with a dance script, so it’s okay, I’ll make one. I’ve an idea, I should work on it,” said Malhotra, who currently stars in “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari”, which released in theatres countrywide on Thursday.
“I’m truly myself when I’m dancing,” said Malhotra, who has long dreamt of doing a full-fledged dance film.
The actor, known for her critically-acclaimed performances in movies such as “Mrs”, “Kathal”, “Pagglait”, and “Dangal”, is trained in contemporary and ballet, and has nurtured a deep bond with dance since childhood.

Malhotra, who often delights fans with her dance reels, said she no longer wishes to wait for recognition.
The actor is glad that she got to dance her heart out to chartbuster tracks like “Ishq Manzoor” and “Panwadi” in “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari”.
The film also features Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor and Vikram Saraf.
The year 2025 has been special for Malhotra, with three of her films — “Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery”, “Sam Bahadur” and “Jawan” — winning National Awards.
“Kathal” won the Best Hindi Feature Film award, while “Sam Bahadur” received honours for Best Feature Film Promoting National, Social, and Environmental Values, Best Costume Design, and Best Make-up Artist.
“Jawan” was recognised with the Best Actor award for Shah Rukh Khan and Best Playback Singer (Female) for Shilpa Rao.
The actor said she feels “super proud and excited” to be associated with them.
