Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon recently shared her National Award for her performance in the film Mimi with Alia Bhatt who received the Best Actor award for Gangubai Kathiawadi.

In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Kriti revealed her thoughts on the significance of the prestigious accolade. She said that projects like Mimi offer actors a unique opportunity to explore diverse roles beyond their established image. Kriti acknowledged that such opportunities are rare and, in her case, the National Award served as the ultimate validation of her efforts.

She said, “I think an opportunity like that doesn’t come very often. I’m still trying to find more, it’s tough. I think the national award is the highest order of validation I could ask for. And I think more than anything else, it made me to some extent secure in my head where I was like ‘Okay, I don’t need to prove myself now I can just have fun’.”

According to the Raabta actor, the award not only brought a sense of security but also instilled the confidence to take risks in her future endeavours.

Kriti expressed, “...Just go with my gut feeling in my heart and not like overthink every other aspect of my choices. All go with what I’m feeling internally. My first instinct that I feel as a person as an actor is that kind of confidence has come in. I don’t know if people have started behaving differently or thinking differently that I don’t know I feel I know I’m thinking differently and that’s about it.” 

Looking ahead, Kriti is gearing up for her upcoming project, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya alongside Shahid Kapoor.
