Hyderabad: Sandeepa Dhar, who made her acting debut with the 2010 film Isi Life Mein, recently revisited her childhood home in Srinagar.

In the video shared on Instagram, Sandeepa recounted the past, mentioning how her family had to hastily pack their belongings into a single suitcase and flee the city.

The actor, in her heart-touching note, expressed hope that they would not have to 'run' ever again. "And now, 30 years later we returned to whatever remains of our home. The empty house stands & What remains are the memories that we had made almost 3 decades ago. And this time we don’t have to run. Hopefully never ever!" she concluded her post with a white heart emoji.
In a video she posted, Sandeepa walked through their former garden and house, sharing her surreal feelings with her followers. She took them on a tour of the house, reflecting on the passage of time and the enduring memories.
