Five years back, she made her maiden Bollywood appearance with Heropanti (2014). Ever since, Kriti Sanon has gone on to create a niche for herself. As she clocks in half a decade in the industry, the actor says she has “no regrets”, and is only “full of gratitude.”

“I feel there have been decisions which were probably not very right. But there are no regrets as such because I feel all my decisions have taught me something or the other. And I truly believe you learn the most from your mistakes, and so my errors have only taught me,” she says.

The Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) actor, though, has had her share of learning. “One thing I learned in my journey till date is to never take up a film that you don’t completely believe

“I always tell Nupur I understand that sometimes, ek jaldi hoti hai ki ‘Main shuru kar deti hoon’. You feel a bit restless and want to be on the set but my mantra is, ‘Don’t take up a film just because you want to be on the set. Take up the right project because the gut feeling is always right.’ It’s a feeling that comes from inside. Sometimes, you don’t even know why you are feeling it but you just know that this is right. I feel Filhall (music video) happened as she didn’t do anything random before it.”

When I look at my choices, I know I’ve reacted honestly to the films I’ve taken up till date,” says Kriti, who had three releases – Luka Chuppi, Housefull 4 and Panipat – this year.

Next up for the actor is Mimi, helmed by Laxman Utekar who directed her in Luka Chuppi too. “I remember, when I was

shooting for Mimi in Rajasthan, my excitement level for it was something else. It didn’t feel like work. Vis-àvis Mimi, I realised that when you start narrating the film to anybody and everybody you meet, or the moment someone brings up the film [Mimi], it means you are really passionate about it,” she says with a smile.

Even as Kriti has had a fair share of success in her career, she feels making the right choice is of paramount
