Sanjjanaa Galrani has acted in most South Indian languages. She became popular in the Kannada film industry after her impressive performance in 'Ganda Hendathi'. She later appeared in contrasting roles in Kannada films like 'Autograph Please', 'Mast Maja Maadi', 'Mylari', 'Ee Sanje', 'I Am Sorry Mathe Banni Preethsona' and 'Ondu Kshanadalli'. Sanjjanaa is known to give her own twist to all the characters that she has essayed so far. Her film 'Kabira' opposite Shivarajkumar has received good reviews. She will soon be seen in 'Dandupalya 2', 'Just Akasmika' and 'Happy Birthday'.
Being in this profession, I miss being at home and whenever I am not travelling, I prefer spending time at home. My newly constructed home in Indiranagar is my favourite hangout. I like to call it a ‘hangout’ because I have taken special interest in designing the house. Every room has been designed according to a theme.
There are a few weekends when my friends come home and we do a lot of things together like watching movies and cooking. I don’t cook but I eat whatever is made. However, recently my friends and I tried our hand at making ‘Mutton chops’ and that’s an achievement for me because I can cook only Maggi and nothing else.
I also work out a lot and weekends are no exception. My workout sessions have become more resourceful after I started ‘Akshar Power Yoga Academy.’ I hit the gym everyday but I dedicate more time to fitness on the weekends. I sometimes attend the teacher’s training course at the Academy where the sessions are quite rigorous. I also spend time talking to and counselling people who come to the Academy, about the benefits of exercise.
Cycling is another favourite pastime of mine. I have three hybrid cycles and I cycle every Sunday morning when the roads are relatively free of traffic. I began cycling regularly after I read about its health benefits. But sadly, cyclists don’t get a lot of respect on Bengaluru roads. It is tough to ride through traffic.
My sister Nikki has now moved to Chennai for work but whenever she is home, we spend a lot of quality time talking about work and sometimes, introspecting about our respective careers. She’s only a-year-and-a- half younger to me. We hardly get to be together, thanks to our demanding careers. So the time we spend together is very precious to me.
I am a foodie with meat dishes being my favourite. When my mother Reshma is home, she makes some grilled chicken and a few other non-vegetarian items. But when she’s travelling with my sister, then we have a good cook who more than makes up for her absence. I eat whatever I like but work out equally well. I bid adieu to my diet during festivals. Whatever the temptation, I always have a light dinner. Weekends are also dedicated to exploring a few restaurants. However, I invariably end up at ‘The Black Rabbit’ in Indiranagar whenever I want to eat out.
Weekends at home are special and I try to make each day memorable by doing things that I like. I am a very positive person who doesn’t get stuck in negativity and stay away from negative people. This has helped me come a long way and has given me the confidence to attempt the impossible.
