“If not for my sister, Sanjjanaa, who’s already in the film industry, I would surely have struggled to get a foothold in cinema.”Galrani explained that her sister helped her make contacts and get jobs in what Galrani described as an “otherwise very competitive industry … I would hang around her during her shoots and people would see me.
