Born in south Kolkata, she was brought up in Delhi and Kolkata. Daughter of a popular Bengali painter, Sanjeeta plays a journalist in her new assignment. Sonali essays the character of her boss.
When asked how was the experience sharing screen space with Sonali, Sanjeeta said she was floored by her humility. A reigning star of the '90s, Sanjeeta says the veteran actress was “extremely gracious, approachable, humble and strikingly elegant.”
The singer, who has just released her new single, said, “Sonali ma’am even helped me with my lines. She was there to catch my nerves if I ever faltered. Not once did I feel intimidated by her presence. She has a very easygoing aura about her. I genuinely love that.”
Meanwhile, Sanjeeta also bonded big time with Shriya on the sets. “I became instantly close to Shriya and we shared some lovely conversations, went on lunch dates, shared our experiences and advice. We were quite inseparable on the sets,” recalled Sanjeeta, who’s a graduate of

Berklee College of Music

.
At the age of 27, Sanjeeta is balancing both her music and acting careers with aplomb. Ask her what’s her first choice, and pat comes the reply, “There are plenty of people doing both equally well. I feel I shouldn't have to and wouldn't want to choose between the two. I am grateful for the opportunities I have and hope to continue down this path. I hope to work with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and SS Rajamouli. I hope to explore the South industry as well, which I feel is making some incredible films. I also see myself singing for my own films,” she signed off.
