Sanjana Sanghi, known for he work in films like Dil Bechara and Dhak Dhak, has been invited to Harvard University to participate in the prestigious Women in Power Conference (WIPC) at the Harvard Kennedy School. The event will take place on April 18, 2026.
The Dil Bechara actor will headline a specialized Arts and Advocacy panel and lead an individual ‘Lunch and Learn’ session, exploring how cultural expression and storytelling can shape advocacy and policy. The actor joins a powerful lineage that includes Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Smriti Irani, and Karisma Kapoor.
Reflecting on being part of the prestigious panel, Sanjana stated: “As a young girl growing up in India, being told ‘you can’t’ was a more frequently murmured phrase than anything else. Turning that ‘you can’t’ into an ‘I will’ is a strength and conviction I only got courtesy of the powerful women in my life who granted me that permission. To be entrusted by Harvard with this honour makes me jump with joy! As a highly studious girl through school and college, Harvard University, in my mind, has always been the pinnacle of greatness one I’ve always revered."
A few days ago, Sanjana became the first Indian celebrity to partner with the Rockefeller Foundation, alongside Foundation President Dr. Rajiv Shah, championing over 100,000+ female-led enterprises in rural India and focusing on how clean energy can act as a direct engine for women's financial independence.
On a professional front, Sanjana Sanghi was last seen in Wo Bhi Din The (2024).
