After the charming Pagglait earlier this year, Netflix’s Meenakshi Sundareshwar seems right up Sanya Malhotra’s alley. The slice-of-life offering, through its leads Malhotra and Abhimanyu Dassani, tells the story of a young couple who find themselves in a long-distance marriage. While the vivacious character of Meenakshi was a big draw, Malhotra says the film’s central theme resonated with her due to her personal experiences. “I believe people will connect to the aspect of a long-distance [marriage]. Since I was in a long-distance relationship, I could relate to the film,” she states.
