Kriti Sanon who made her Bollywood debut in the 2014 movie Heropanti discussed how being an outsider with no links to the film industry influenced her career. The actor, who turns 33 on July 27, told Pinkvilla that she has been replaced in films by star kids and discussed nepotism in the entertainment industry. Since 2014, Kriti Sanon has appeared in several films, including Dilwale, Raabta, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4.
Speaking about her career, Kriti told Pinkvilla in 2020, “I’m very ambitious and I know that I have the potential to do a lot more. I want to work with certain A-list directors. So I have got great opportunities but if I compare, there are a few more which I really want and I’d love to have. The difference is still there. I don’t mind reaching out to directors. If I had been from a film family, I would not have had to reach out. They would already know me, and I would have interacted with them somewhere. But after a while, only your work speaks. It probably takes way longer or more hit films and performances to sort of get there.
She had further said without taking any names, “I don’t know if they dialed the phone or not, but someone, who was from a film family, or there was a little more buzz about that person, had replaced me. So yes, it’s happened but I don’t know the reason behind it. The director might have genuinely wanted that person. It has happened a few times… It irritates you a little bit and you feel bad.
