Kriti: I’ve fallen in love with acting
IT has been 10 years for her in showbiz and Kriti Sanon believes she has evolved with time and has fallen in love with the craft of acting.
Sanon made a promising film debut opposite fellow newcomer Tiger Shroff with 2014’s Heropanti, which she followed up with acclaimed performances in films such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi and Mimi, which earned her a National Film Award for best actress.
“Sometimes, it is difficult to realise that it has been 10 years in this industry. Suddenly, it feels so long,” the 33-year-old actor told PTI in an interview.
“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 Delhi-born actor, who currently stars in sci-fi romance Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, decided to become an actor after completing her engineering degree from Noida’s Jaypee Institute of Information Technology.
“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,” said.
She also 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.”
Sanon, 33, said she is lucky to be in a profession that’s not monotonous.
“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,” she said
