You may have first seen Sayani (pronounced Shayoni) Gupta in her striking role of a visually-impaired young woman in Shonali Bose's Margarita With A Straw or with Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra in Baar Baar Dekho. The Bollywood actress, a graduate from FTII or Film and Television Institute of India, always knew that acting was her calling, and so she ditched her successful career in marketing and sales to become a talented actress who, by now, has already acted in numerous plays and a couple of feature films. Sayani Gupta has even worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Fan and Akshay Kumar in Jolly LLB 2.
