She expressed a mix of fascination and fear regarding AI, stating, "The sharper the tool, the more dangerous it is," and called for stringent laws to keep pace with technological advancements. Sanon also reflected on her career, noting that winning a National Award for her film 'Mimi' marked a significant milestone in her journey, allowing her to choose projects that resonate with her personally.
