Her latest painting The Hidden Story is also getting praise.
In an exclusive interview with Kanchan Awasthi, she said that although lockdown is a challenging time she had used it as a creative time. “I stayed in Mumbai till June, meanwhile, reading scripts for the films and understanding the characters with the writer-director through the video call. Now as the shooting will be planned the preproduction will be easy.”
Kanchan Awasthi further said, “I am very fond of paintings and sketches. Due to the continuous shoots, promotions, there was no time for this for the last several years. This lockdown was a much-needed break to explore the part of us which was lagged behind. In this lockdown, I lifted the brush once again and made some sketches and paintings. I have made a very special painting The Hidden Story which is very close to me. From my days of theatre to TV and big screen, I felt something and tried to say through this painting. My family, friends as well as friends from the film industry have praised this painting very much. I had also made sketches of Lord Ganesha.”

Kanchan says “On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan she used to visit her family but never got to stay for more than 2 days but now due to the current situation she is enjoying many festivals like Nagpanchami, celebrating Kajri and Janamashtami. She further said she has been very much associated with these festivals in childhood and this time all her childhood memories are revived.

So I find both this story and the character very real, as well as Maina is a very different girl.”
Kanchan Awasthi says that life is not easy nor life is difficult, most important is to be happy, do everything that gives you enthusiasm and happiness. The identity of a film artist is huge, your friends, your co-workers (calling) and your family love you very much, so spend life with them with full energy and happiness.
