Many sacrifices had to be made in order to find success. I had to isolate myself for at least 6-7 hours for practice. No ice-creams, no cold water. But, music is something that my soul connects with. I have learnt about 2000 songs so far, and I am willing to make a career in music.” Despite being asthmatic, Sanjana never lost faith or patience to pursue the genre of music where controlling the breadth is an essential part of the art.
