I used to be going through a significant change in my life. I used to be transforming into a complete latest person. That is something that I wanted, and he’s the one who guided me.”

So possibly this guy has brainwashed her.’ It’s never like that. No person can brainwash you until and unless you don’t want it. I wanted peace. An individual might find fame, money and standing, but at the top of the day, everyone wants inner peace.”
Throughout the same chat, Sana also stated that she left the film industry because ‘when your surroundings aren’t right, your decisions are sometimes incorrect’.
