Speaking with Pinkvilla in an interview, Sanaya said, “Genetically, I am thin. Everyone thinks that it is a blessing to be thin and it is, today at this age I can say it is a blessing but when I was younger, I was very conscious. I was so thin that I needed to eat the wrong things to keep my weight. I used to have jars of Nutella. I had chips stuffed in my cupboard. I used to eat fried food to look healthy. I used to lose so much weight that I used to be conscious of my body. My arms so naturally thin that I used to conscious of wearing sleeveless clothes. Till today, I wear sleeveless things, I wonder if I am looking too thin.
