Sanya Malhotra talks about her character Jyoti from 'Love Hostel'
In a recent conversation, Sanya Malhotra was asked if she had difficulty coming out of her character Jyoti, post the filming of Love Hostel was finished. The actor replied and said, "For some characters and scenes, if you do not have anything in your memory bank to rely on, you have to induce that emotion and maybe imagine some things and I did a lot of imagination for Jyoti. I have never experienced the trauma that my character went through. It definitely took to me time to come out of the character, because it stays in your subconscious mind."
Malhotra further explained how therapy helped her come out of the character and said, "I used to be in certain moods for a longer period of time and therapy really helped me. I am now learning how to create healthy boundaries with the characters I play, in the start of my career I really had no boundaries with the characters I played. Not just me but the entire team was empathetic with the characters and what they were going through."
