Kriti Sanon reveals that filmmakers were not ready to take a chance with her: Not having opportunities, I wanted to...

Despite coming from a non-film background, Kriti Sanon, had a spectacular breakthrough in the Hindi film industry with Heropanti. She has achieved this by sheer hard work and perseverance. The actress, who has a long list of popular films to her credit, never fails to deliver a diverse performance to her audience. She recently talked about the times when she didn't have many decent movie possibilities. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kriti Sanon reflected on a time in her career when she felt she could have had a bigger impression but had a hard time finding directors ready to take a chance on her. When questioned about those instances, she regarded the experience as challenging yet instructive.

Kriti Sanon said, “When you do not come from a film background, it anyway takes time for people even to know your name. So I wanted them to know my name, and that name to resonate with talent.” 

The actress stated that she "craved for validation" throughout her life, and after seeing Bareilly Ki Barfi and Luka Chuppi, she finally got it. She cited Mimi as one of her career's breakthrough flicks. “I always craved validation as an actor. That started happening with Bareilly Ki Barfi, and then Luka Chuppi did really well. I was taking baby steps in the right direction. Of course, after Mimi, there has been a huge shift, I got my first set of best actor awards. It took eight years for it to happen,” the actress said.

Kriti added, "There were a lot of moments of that… knowing I could do more, but not having the kind of opportunities I wanted on my table. When you come from the outside, you don’t know people, and they don’t know you. It takes a while to make an impact and for people to associate with you. You end up doing the best you can with what you are offered. It may not necessarily be the best thing in the world, but every film has taught me something.”

On the work front, Kriti will be soon seen as Sita Mata in Om Raut's Adipurush. She will appear on screen alongside Prabhas, Sunny Singh, and Saif Ali Khan. She is currently shooting for her another film titled The Crew with Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
