"Being Sana the kid was as ordinary as being any other kid my age. My parents are very rooted, so even after KKHH became a blockbuster, I was still treated like their 10-year-old baby and not a celebrity child artist. I remember never missing days at school for work because my mum always made sure I had my priorities right. I also did ads ever since I was 3 so my friends took to KKHH casually and, of course, we were all still too young to know how big the film actually was. So, at home, school and with friends, I had the most common, fun-filled childhood.
"I was definitely bombarded with lots of Anjali questions outside my close circle, though. It was a tiny thrill back then but I remember attending to most of it extremely shyly.
"The label did stick all the way through school to college, where half the college already knew who I was because of KKHH. When people refer to me as their favourite from back then, it's an overwhelming feeling, and makes my day even today. Only now do I realise how big an opportunity it really was and how thankful I am for it to have come my way."
