Pooja Pandey on meeting the sexual assault survivors shares, ”To understand their agony, struggle and the journey it was very important for me to meet them and build a close bond with them.
Getting to know them was an eye-opener for me and it was such a great learning experience for me. It has immensely helped me to shape my character and to play my part well on screen. These women are really brave hearts and their story is something the world should be aware of.
Women are not weak, they are empowered and strong and to have such cases prevalent is heart-wrenching. It was very difficult for me to keep a straight face while listening to these survivors’ stories and I had broken down during our meeting with them.”
Siya is slated to release on 16th September 2022 in theatres near you. The film is produced by Drishyam Films, which has earlier delivered films like Masaan, Newton, and Ankhon Dekhi.
