“In our society there are certain fixed norms of beauty and beautiful girls. If someone is short or fat, people look at them differently which is very wrong. In the film, my character Esha goes though the same feelings,” she said.

Speaking about bonding with her star brother Shahid on the sets, Sanah said, “We share a typical elder brother and little sister bond. He is a very protective brother and he always treats me like a kid. I guess I will never be a grown-up for him.” Directed by Vikas Bahl and featuring Alia Bhatt, Shaandaar hits theatres on October 22, Thursday.
