Sanchita Ugale played the lead character Sukoon in the Hindi television serial Dilwali Dulha Le Jayegi. She also portrayed Tarabai in Chhaava and appeared in popular shows such as Kumkum Bhagya and Wagle Ki Duniya.
In a throwback conversation, Sanchita had once spoken about the practical difficulties of surviving in Mumbai. “I acted in Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava, in which I enjoyed playing the role of Tarabai. I have also acted in Silence 2 and Crime Aaj Kal. But soon I realised that being an outsider, it would be difficult for me to have a lead role in films,” she told TOI, further adding, “Meanwhile, I was getting lead offers for TV shows. I also have to manage my expenses in this city, like Mumbai. So as of now, I follow a basic rule of filtering good roles and taking up those.”
