Kriti Sanon's latest interview

The Luka Chuppi actress mentioned in her interview that she has had her career's ups and downs in the industry and has also faced failures. At the beginning of her career, Kriti felt that she might get stereotyped with the small-town characters she was playing in the movies. She then realised that all the characters were so different from each other that it did not matter. She believes that it is boring for an actor to keep repeating themselves in all their work.

While talking about selecting scripts, the actress said that over time she has realised that a script can be different on paper. She further said that sometimes it is the director's narration and work that can make an average script a lot better. Her belief is that it is important to understand that a script might have the potential to get better.
