Actor Sanya Malhotra says she wrote a journal to understand her character Sandhya''s complex feelings in "Pagglait", a film that revolves around a woman in a loveless marriage to a man who dies months after their wedding. Sandhya, who is struggling to mourn Astik''s passing, soon discovers that her husband was in a relationship with his colleague Akansha, played by Sayani Gupta, before they got married.

Malhotra, known for her roles in "Dangal", "Photograph" and "Ludo", said she wrote several pages to figure out the inner voice of her character, an educated middle class woman who sets onto a path of self-discovery while navigating her joint family and a Rs 50 lakh insurance policy that her late husband left in her name.
