Woh Lamhe

Sana Azim used to live in Junagadh with her widowed mom, and was discovered by Nikhil Rai, who introduced her to Bollywood’s tinsel screen – and thence there was no looking back for this actress. She lived with Nikhil – albeit in a strange relationship – as he ordered her around, controlled, and even physically abused her. When Journalist/Film-maker Aditya Garewal wrote about Sana he described her in very unflattering terms, angering her, leading to a well-publicized confrontation – which was merely a ploy used by Aditya in order to compel Sana to act in his movie – a ploy which was successful. Both started working together and were drawn to each other – a closeness that will draw Aditya in to Sana’s dark and unstable world, a world where Sana is now controlled by a woman named Rani, who has made her believe that Aditya is going to kill her – and the only way to deal with this threat – is to kill Aditya first.
