Kriti Sanon made her Bollywood debut with Heropanti opposite Tiger Shroff in 2014. She went on to do films like Dilwale, Raabta, Bareilly Ki Barfi and the recent one being Luka Chuppi. The 28-year-old actress won accolades for her character in BKB and in her latest outing. Kriti's character from Luka Chuppi, Rashmi Trivedi, resonated with the young female audience. Surprisingly, her last project with Kartik Aaryan, despite being a small budget film, did exceptionally well at the box office. The romantic-comedy raked in a whopping Rs 92. 73 crore.
Bollywood Life caught up with Kriti, who got candid and spoke about the success of Luka Chuppi, her upcoming projects and much more.
Here are the excerpts from the chat:
People are impressed with your character in Luka Chuppi. How do you feel?
It feels good especially when people remember you by your character name. A similar thing happened to me during Bareilly Ki Barfi, where a lot of people would randomly call, Bitti. And I think people also remember Rashmi (Luka Chuppi). I loved Rashmi's character from the beginning. She was a good mix of modern thoughts and rooted values, which was very interesting for me to play. With Luka Chuppi doing the numbers it has, it obviously gave me a lot of confidence to do something new and go with my gut feeling.
Did you expect Luka Chuppi to do such business?
