She further added, "Over time I've learned to disconnect and let go once a film is out allowing it to belong to the audience. But seeing how deeply so many people are relating to this story-heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time- feels incredibly special. Thank you for embracing Mrs. with so much love. This response has given me even more confidence to be a part of such stories boldly and wholeheartedly."

Sanya Malhotra on doing Mrs.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Sanya shared that she saw women around her being victims of an unspeakable patriarchy.

She added that she has seen her friends go through similar challenges and often we think this is mundane and aren’t even aware of how it is actually a patriarchal practice. 

"I feel [showing it in] this film can empower someone watching it. I feel empowered doing films like Mrs and I want little girls to feel the same way when they watch me. These are small steps, but somebody has to take them," the actress added.

Written by Harman Baweja and Anu Singh Choudhary, Mrs. stars Sanya Malhotra as Richa. Nishant Dahiya plays her husband Diwakar. Kanwaljit Singh is seen as the actress' father-in-law in the movie. 

Produced by Baweja Studios and Zee Studios, Mrs. was released on ZEE5 on February 7, 2025. You can also watch the Mrs movie online with your OTTpl ay Premium subscription.
