MUMBAI: Tum Bin which has some of the melodious songs is a much-loved film. Also, Anubhav Sinha's 2001 romantic drama is still remembered for Sandali Sinha's cute portrayal of Pia.
However, instead of captalising on this film, Sandali did very few films in her acting career. Recently in a tete-a-tete with Hindustan Times, Sandali opened up on her journey in films and what kept her away from taking up more films. Recalling how she had bagged her debut film Tum Bin, Sandali shared with Hindustan Times, "It all was natural, being in the entertainment industry. I started off as a model, worked in TV for a year, then starred in music videos with Anubhav (Sinha, filmmaker) and his wife Ratna. When they were making their debut film, everything just fell into place. It wasn't really a struggle and I wasn't looking out to become an actor."

Sandali Sinha, who had last made a guest appearance as Pia in Tum Bin 2 in 2016, also revealed that despite staying away from the camera for many years, she still has younger generation walking up to her and appreciating her performance in Tum Bin. She told the tabloid, "I have younger people who must have been two, three or five when Tum Bin released. They message me saying, 'We really liked what you did', and I say 'Listen, how old were you then?' There is such a reaction from the younger generation, which is lovely to see."
Sandali said she took fewer acting projects because of personal reasons. She said, “I'm from Delhi, so I kept going back there, my family needed me. I did sign a couple of projects in that much time. I got married fairly soon within three years (after making my debut), met my husband, we decided to settle down and that was it. There wasn't any planning put into it, the film naturally happened. Same way, life unfolded naturally after that." The actress said that post marriage, she wanted to focus on her family life as she feels that she's not someone who can multi-task adding that nobody from Bollywood dissuaded her from settling down.
