She already has some interesting projects in hand. “There’s no suitable offer in Kolkata. I can only do projects only if it attracts me and I am comfortable with accepting the role when all my requirements are kept in place. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen in Kolkata. So, I am now concentrating on my career in Mumbai now. There are some interesting projects in my kitty and I am eagerly waiting to work on them,” shares Sayani during an exclusive chat with ETimes.

Speaking about the nepotism and favouritsm debate in Bollywood Sayani admits Bollywood is much more professional than Kolkata. Here you have to work hard to stay in the competition. “See, if you are hard-working, if you have the dedication you will find work here. Here everybody is professional. There is plenty of opportunity and the remuneration depends on your role. So far, I have had my luck. Yes, there’s a tough competition and you need to be patient and focus on your aim. Then everything will come in your way eventually.”
