With rich content driven and commercial films, Kriti Sanon has come a long way in showbiz. The actress who made her film with Heropanti, went on to star in hit films such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi and Mimi, which earned her a National Film Award for best actress. She is currently basking in the success of her recently released film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. As she clocks 10 years in film industry, the actress revisited her career and shared that she is immensely grateful for the journey.
In an interview with PTI, she shared, “Sometimes, it is difficult to realise that it has been 10 years in this industry. Suddenly, it feels so long. There was a point when I was in college and I didn’t even know that I wanted to act. I went from discovering that I could act to finally pursuing it… I think I’ve fallen in love with acting over time,” she added.
The 33-year-old actress decided to become an actress after completing her engineering degree from Noida’s Jaypee Institute of Information Technology. She shared, “It’s my engineering mind that’s really curious and always trying to absorb everything like a sponge to learn and grow. I’ve always been like that. I have evolved with time, at least, that’s been my goal. I have figured out what works for me as an actor and what doesn’t.”
She added, “I also feel that I don’t know what my process is because I don’t want to limit myself. Sometimes, I do ‘hit and trial’ of finding new ways of doing something. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn’t,” she said. When I get a character that has something that scares me and I don’t know how to do it, then it really excites me. I’m blessed to have a job where I wake up every day and I’m doing something different, and it’s not a monotonous life.”
On a closing note she added, “I want to leave a mark and be inspirational to many people who probably are dreaming of coming here and doing what they love. It just feels amazing. (I want to) keep finding new layers to me and my potential as an actor. Keep doing different work that excites me. I want to work till I physically cannot work.”
Speaking of her recent film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya with Shahid Kapoor, she shared, “Love stories are my favourite genre but they are not made very often. The good ones are made even less because there are fewer conflicts these days. But this conflict I never imagined.”
She added, “It’s quirky, different. What’s new is that this robot is close to a human but she is not. It makes you think ‘Is this going to happen one day?’ As an actor, it was exciting because I didn’t have a reference point. I didn’t know how I was going to do it till I actually did it.”
