• She questioned the rigid roles assigned to women in marriage.

Bollywood actress Sanya Malhotra, who will portray an Indian housewife in her upcoming film Mrs, recently opened up about gender disparities in society. Directed by Arati Kadav, Mrs is set to premiere on Zee5 on February 7. The film tells the story of a talented dancer whose life changes dramatically after marriage into a male-dominated household.

In a conversation with ANI, Sanya highlighted societal expectations placed on women, particularly after childbirth. “From us women, there are a lot of expectations. It is very natural nowadays that a woman should leave a job after giving birth to a child. But the child is of both, right? It’s both the members’ responsibility. A good balance is what we need,” she said.

Director Arati Kadav echoed similar sentiments, questioning the rigid roles assigned to women in marriage. “Women shouldn’t have to choose. The idea is marriage is an institution, so it should have room for her career and dreams also. Why is it that marriage immediately extinguishes the passion and ambition of the women?” she asked.

Sanya, known for her versatility in films like Dangal, Jawan, Kathal, and Pagglait, hinted at her upcoming projects. “This year you will see me doing a variety of roles. In Sunny Sanskari, I am doing a role which I have never done before,” she revealed.

She also shared how she prepared for Mrs while filming Jawan and Sam Bahadur. “When I used to come back from the shoot of Sam Bahadur, I used to go on a call with Arati to discuss the character,” she said.

With Mrs releasing soon, Sanya continues to challenge herself with diverse roles, promising an exciting year for her fans.
