Kriti Sanon on her career in films
Kriti Sanon was asked if not coming from a legacy (of actors) still plays a big part in her career. To which, the actress said, "Sometimes... (but) I don't have someone who will make a call. I have had more of those moments, and a little bit of frustration earlier. But it has taken me a decade to reach where I am today. Today, there's a little less to prove... like 'I need to prove myself'."
Backing her statement with a solid reason, Sanon added, "Because there is a sense of validation that's happened over the 10 years; whether it is with the box office or as an actor. I think I have always been someone who was hungry to be known as a good actor, not just have the stardom."
The Mimi actress feels certain performances and awards give her a sense of validation that "Okay, I don't need to prove myself now". At the same time, it also makes Kriti push herself as an actor and do what excites her.
