Shreya Dhanwanthary is a face you cannot forget if you have watched Scam 1992, in which she essayed the role of journalist Sucheta Dalal. Shreya played a journalist once again in Mumbai Diaries.

While speaking to The Quint about her upcoming project Upaused: Naya Safar, the actor recalled how many time she has been approached to play a journalist after Scam 1992.
