Actress Kriti Sanon needs no introduction. She is one of the most popular Hindi film heroines and is currently basking in the success of her recent film, Cocktail 2. However, the actress, in a recent candid chat with Lilly Singh, opened up on her first shoot, coming home crying, her mother’s take, the treatment of item songs in Bollywood, and more.
While Kriti talked at length about her career, journey, and personal life, we found a couple of details more interesting than those the actress has shared in the past. The actress firstly revealed that as a younger self, she was a very shy kid to the point that she used to hide behind her mother’s dupatta, feared to go on stage, etc., and it’s unbelievable for her younger self to think of herself as an actress.
Opening up on her younger self, Kriti shared that she has taught herself to be confident and transform. She also revealed that she messed up with her first photoshoot and ramp walk and came home crying. And after that, her mother told her that maybe she isn’t meant for this, as for this field, she really needs to be confident and thick-skinned, giving the example of Priyanka Chopra and other personalities. However, the actress shared that she is proud to have gone for her second photoshoot and never given up.
Talking about ‘Item’ songs, Kriti shared that she doesn’t like the world ‘Item Song’ because she personally loves dancing, and whenever she gets an opportunity, she wishes to dance her heart out. The actress also shared that she has not said no to an ‘Item’ song.
While discussing the topic, Kriti asked why songs performed by men are not considered Item songs. She mentioned Shah Rukh Khan’s song “Dard E Disco,” pointing out its objectification and questioning Bollywood’s double standards.
