Sanjana remembers the shoot
Sanjana Sanghi, the lead actress of Dil Bechara also took to Instagram to remember her co-star Sushant.
“Life, indeed, is seri-real. 2 years ago, July 9th 2018, was the first day of Sushant and Sanjana, becoming Manny and Kizie in front of the camera. It was on the set in Jamshedpur. My life since that day has never been the same for a second. Kizie and Manny truly believed there never will be a greater love than their’s, but the love all of you, all over the world have shown us? It really does come close. It feels like a long, warm embrace,” the actress wrote on Instagram.
