Recently, her work in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya was also recognised by both audience and critics. She might be riding high on recent triumphs, but her journey in the film industry, spanning the past 10 years, was no cakewalk as Kriti had to overcome many challenges in her career. In a candid conversation with Pinkvilla, the Heropanti actor admitted to feeling dejected during her career due to better opportunities being given to ‘star kids’.

Kriti expressed, “There was a phase where I was just very restless because I knew that I had way more potential than what I could portray in the opportunities that I had in front of me. I wanted something deeper. I wanted something where I could just show my potential as an actor way more.”

Talking about how she lost opportunities and better roles to star kids, she said, “I was getting frustrated because I was like, I know I can do it; I know I can kill it, but I don’t have it in front of me. At that point, I was also seeing some new faces, some of them belonging to the film background, coming in having not done anything and getting opportunities that I was like, how.…”
Opening up about her desire to prove her potential and the challenges she faced along the way, she added, “I always say this that as an actor ‘Aapko jitna ghada milega, utna hi aap bhar sakte ho. Agar aapko chota vessel diya jayega toh usme aap utna hi paani bhar sakte ho. Agar aapko bada diya jayega toh aap aur bhar sakte ho.’ (You can only fill a vessel with as much as it holds. If it’s small, you can only pour in so much water. If it’s big, you can pour in more.) So I was looking for that bada vessel for a very long time.”

Despite her initial struggles, Kriti has come a long way since her debut alongside Tiger Shroff in Heropanti. Her upcoming film, Do Patti, produced by her own production house, is set to take audiences on a suspenseful ride through the picturesque hills of Northern India. With a stellar cast including Kajol and Tanvi Azmi, Do Patti marks Kriti’s first venture into the thriller genre and is highly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
