Sanya Malhotra’s Mrs. has taken the streaming world by storm since its release on ZEE5, earning widespread acclaim for its powerful portrayal of patriarchy within domestic spaces. The film, a Hindi adaptation of the Malayalam hit The Great Indian Kitchen, sees Sanya in the role of Richa, an aspiring dancer whose dreams are crushed after marriage, as she finds herself trapped in an endless cycle of household chores.
In a candid conversation with India Today, veteran actor Kanwaljit Singh, who plays Richa’s father-in-law in the film, shared how deeply disturbed he felt after watching the final cut. “All I remembered from the shoot was eating a lot of food. After that, I worked on nearly four other projects and forgot about my character. But when I saw the film, I was so disgusted by my character’s behavior that I immediately went to Sanya and apologized," he revealed.
