As ‘Pagglait’ completed three years, actor Sanya Malhotra took a stroll down memory lane and shared behind-the-scenes pictures of the film.Taking to Instagram stories on Tuesday, treated fans with BTS moments.The first photo showed Sanya giving the shot.Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Mera Pagglait parivar. 3 years of Pagglait.”
She also posted an image with producer Guneet Monga from the sets and captioned it, “Happy happy 3 years.”
The movie revolves around the story of a young woman, Sandhya (played by Sanya), who has recently lost her husband and is now in search of her identity. The actor’s performance as a young widow trying to carve her identity shines.
Struggling to mourn the untimely death of her husband, Sanya delivers some really quirky lines to lighten up the mood of the situation her character finds herself in. As everyone around her expects her to grieve, all she can think of is binging on panipoori and a chilled cola.
While the family prepares for the last rites and other ceremonies, life seems to be going normally for Sandhya. Her friend rushes to be by her side, hoping to console the young widow but Sandhya’s attention was on the comments of the social media post in which she announced her husband’s death.
There is an interesting turn with a sudden windfall in terms of insurance money pushing the situation further in the black comedy realm. A life insurance agent walks into the house and reveals that her husband has left behind Rs 50 lakhs under his wife’s name. As the family contemplates what to do next in order to keep their son’s money within the family, Sandhya seems to have other plans.
One of the powerful dialogues of Sandhya (Sanya) says, “Jab ladki logo ko akal aati hai..log unhe pagglait hi kahte hai (when women become wise, the world calls them mad,” which is sure to leaves viewers in splits.
