"This is a very interesting part of my job as an actress where I am going through a certain physical transformation with films that I am doing. I knew nothing about wrestling when I auditioned for Dangal. My body went through a huge transformation during the shooting of the film, my body language changed and I gained a lot of physical strength. Now, in Vishalji's film, I have to gain weight for the second half of the film."
Sanya, who is really excited for her film said,
"Your body weight changes your body language at times. I have been working with some of the best in the business. That is why it is a good learning curve for me. One of the major things one learns by working with these great directors is how to look and feel the part."
When she was further asked how she would be gaining weight, she added,
"When Sanya was asked how she plans to gain weight for her character in Chhuriyaan, this is what the actress replied: "By doing what I do the best -- eating. I love eating and this time I will be eating everything for a reason. This is going to be so much fun."
