He told the media, “People who watched her television serials knew her by the name ‘Pooja’. She became so popular through that character that people across the Ahmednagar district would call her Pooja. Whenever I went somewhere and told people she was my granddaughter, all our relatives and acquaintances across the taluka and district knew her only as ‘Pooja’. Hardly anyone there recognised her as Sanchita. Everyone knew her by the name Pooja, which was her character’s name in the serial.”
