Sangita Ghosh is one of the most talented actresses in the Indian entertainment industry. Currently captivating viewers as Saroj in Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor, she recently shared how her parents’ relentless support has shaped her personal and professional journey, helping her achieve success in life.
Opening up about the support she received from her parents, Sangita Ghosh shared, “My parents, I think, managed that beautifully. They never questioned me about anything and gave me a lot of freedom and liberty, which is why I am where I am today. I’m happy in life, and my thinking and outlook have developed in a way that they never drew distinctions between a boy and a girl.”
She further added, “My brother and I were raised equally. I was never asked to do certain things just because I was a girl, nor was he treated differently. For instance, he wasn’t told to go out and play while I was expected to stay home and focus on other things. It was never like that. I remember playing cricket, kabaddi, and football with the boys. They never imposed restrictions on me because of my gender. Whether it was my studies, wanting to work, or going out, they always trusted me. They never questioned me for coming home late or for having male friends in my circle. Because of the freedom they gave me, I became much more responsible. For that, I’m incredibly grateful. They allowed me to live my life freely with them, and I feel truly blessed to have such parents.”
The Saajha Sindoor actress also reflected on how relationships between parents and children have evolved. She shared, “These days, it’s common for parents to want to be friends with their children, probably to break that barrier or thaw the ice, or however you’d describe it. But I’m not sure how I’ll be with my daughter as she grows up. That said, I believe there’s a very fine line to maintain. You have to be a parent first, before anything else.”
Sangita, who plays Saroj, the stepmother to Gagan (played by Sahil Uppal) in Saajha Sindoor, also discussed the difficult decision she made to leave her daughter behind for the role. “It wasn’t just about playing a negative character. There were many factors, especially thinking about my daughter. I had to leave her in Jaipur while I traveled to Mumbai, so I wanted to make sure the role was truly worth it. I had immense trust in the team, and that’s ultimately why I chose to move forward with it.”
Saajha Sindoor, airing on Sun Neo at 8 PM, explores the grandeur and complex relationships within a royal family in Rajasthan, featuring Stuti Vinkle, Sangita Ghosh, Sahil Uppal, Neelu Vaghela, and Krutika Desai.
