Sayani Gupta earns praise for Glory, shares emotional note on balancing show with her short film Aasmani

Sayani Gupta is getting lots of positive feedback for her new series Glory, which recently started on Netflix. She plays Joyna Hazarika, an investigative journalist who is trying to solve a complicated murder case. Her performance is being praised for being very real, especially when she portrays an Assamese character.

While the show was being released, Sayani shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the set on social media.

 These pictures showed her working with co-stars like Divyendu Sharma, and also with the creators Karan Anshman and Mohit. The images also included some moments from the wrap party and look tests.

In a detailed message, Sayani talked about how she has worked with Karan and Mohit for a long time.

 She mentioned working on Indie Edge and Baar Baar Dekho, which were a fun film and a popular show with three seasons. It was a big deal for her to see them create @atomicfilmsin and then make #glory for @netflix. Karan had told her three years ago that he was writing something for her. When she finally read the script, she felt really grateful. The shoot for Glory was scheduled at the same time as her film Aasmani. For two whole weeks, they tried to find dates that worked for both. Everyone was worried about it.

She explained how the scheduling issue was finally settled.

 She said, “@nishant_pandey0612 Arif @operationfail @hindol_deb and I finally figured it out. I was scared I might lose out on this beautiful collaboration that I was so grateful for. Not every day you get to work with friends you love. Most of the photos are from when I had to travel four hours at 3 in the morning to shoot one scene at sunrise before leaving for an outdoor schedule for @4moreshotspls. We wrapped the show that day. I left with a heavy but full heart. I love this team with all my heart. What a beautiful set of comrades and collaborators. It all worked out. It always does.”

Looking back on a meaningful week in her career, Sayani added, “This week we had the Aasmani World Premieres (2) and won two awards, and Glory was released today.

 Such a huge full circle. Hand in hand, step by step, we created the show and my film together. Me, as an actor in one and creator in the other. Both processes were satisfying and both I am so grateful for. Life is full of surprises in the most magical ways.”

Glory features Pulkit Samrat and Divyendu in lead roles, along with Surinder Vicky, Jannat Zubair Rehmani, Kashmira Pardeshi, and Vishal Vashishth in key roles.

 The series tells the story of a broken family brought together by a tragic event, exploring themes like ambition, morality, and consequences.
