Tulip Joshi, changed her name to Sanjana, to sound much more like the name of Indian girl, on the advises of the director. The film did well and was a succes too. Hence. She planned to take up acting as her career.

Tulip’s parents did not want her to act in films and advertisements but then she continued her carreer, as it gave her a place in the industry.

Tulip appeared in a video which was made as a tribute to the famous, “Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan”.
