As fans wait to see the new pair in the franchise, an old video of Kriti from an award ceremony has surfaced online due to its link with Ranveer. During her award-winning speech for the film Mimi, the actress turned emotional and said, 'To any boy and any girl who is being told ki 'bohot bada sapna hai, itne bade sapne matt dekho, pure nahi hote hai,' ya 'contacts ke bina yaha pe kuch nahi hota hai' —It does not matter where you are from. It does not matter who your parents are or what your surname is. It may take you a little longer – it took me 8 years — but it is possible. The journey could be a little difficult. Simply believe in yourself and keep striving. Keep improving at what you do. Keep learning, and I guarantee you'll get there. And when you do, it will be worthwhile since this is your path. Never let anyone tell you that your dreams are too great. So here's to big dreams." She concluded the speech with one sentence that has already piqued the interest of the fans.
