This Bollywood actor was once rejected for being ‘too good looking', now runs ₹100 cr skincare brand, fitness studios
Bollywood is filled with insiders and outsiders. While unarguably, it is a tad bit easier to make a debut and shine with the right connections and filmy family ties, this one outsider made it big despite having no industry backing. In fact, she hailed from a completely different background. An engineer by qualification, she made her debut opposite Tiger Shroff, son of actor Jackie Shroff, in Heropanti (2014) and quickly rose to fame. However, success didn't come to her easily. After facing several rejections, including ones where she was told she was 'too good-looking' to be an actor, she braved it all and eventually bagged a National Award. Today, she is the proud owner of a ₹ 100 crore skincare brand and manages several fitness studios. The outsider in Bollywood who defied all odds is Kriti Sanon. Today, Kriti is one of the most popular female actors in the industry, who has worked alongside industry legends like Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in Dilwale (2015). Over the years, she delivered multiple box office hits such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4. She won the prestigious National Film Award for her acclaimed performance in Mimi (2021). She was last seen in Do Patti. While Kriti's journey is truly commendable, she had to audition multiple times before landing her debut role. Talking about rejections, she once told Hindustan Times in 2017, "There were days when I was annoyed and irritated. On some days, I used to cry, because there was nothing to keep me busy. There were also times when I met a few people who told me that something was not right about me — someone told me, 'You're too good-looking. There has to be some sort of imperfection in you to look real on screen.' I think I did feel low, but at the same time, I did have people who believed in me a lot. That's what you need. I think that gave me a little more confidence.' Not just films, Kriti is also a smart investor and among the new businesswomen in town. Kriti launched her own skincare brand, Hyphen, in 2023. Being an actor, Kriti, who is surrounded by makeup and beauty products, once told NDTV, "I'm a skin nerd; I really got into skincare during the Covid lockdown.' She co-founded the brand with PEP Technologies, the company behind the popular brand mCaffeine. Hyphen earned ₹ 100 crore in just its first years, as per Forbes. Hyphen is clashing big with other celebrity brands like Katrina Kaif's Kay Beauty, Mira Rajput's Akind and more. While many might think that Kriti entered her entrepreneurial era with Hyphen, she was already into business with her fitness venture, The Tribe. Launched in 2022, The Tribe was inspired by the role in Mimi, where she portrayed a pregnant woman. For the role, Kriti had gained around 15 kg. With gyms shut during COVID, Kriti struggled to return to her shape. 'I gained 15 kgs and I didn't know what to do,' she told Raj Shamani. Later, she connected with four trainers and managed to lose all the weight by working out virtually in her room. Her experience sparked the idea of creating a fitness brand, which we know now as The Tribe. Kriti opened the first The Tribe fitness studio in 2022 in Mumbai's Juhu area. Following its success, she launched a second studio in Bandra in 2024, further expanding her brand. Besides this, Kriti also has her own production house, Blue Butterfly Films, which she launched in 2023. In fact, her last film was backed by her production banner. Kriti Sanon has also made some major investments in real estate. As per a Moneycontrol report, the actor has moved into a lavish apartment in Sandhu Palace, a premium building located in Mumbai's Bandra area. She is reportedly paying a monthly rent of ₹ 17 lakh, which totals nearly ₹ 2 crore annually. She recently purchased a 2,000 sq ft plot in Alibaug in 2024, worth over ₹ 2 crore. It is a seaside property, a part of a high-end project that also includes a 10,000 sq. ft. plot owned by Amitabh Bachchan. According to multiple reports, Kriti Sanon's net worth is currently estimated to be around ₹ 82 crore as of last year. She will be next seen in the upcoming film, Tere Ishk Mein.

Radhika Madan supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand: 'Male actors are given that privilege'
As the dialogues continue around the grueling nature of shoot schedules, Radhika Madan has also expressed her displeasure regarding the imbalance of hours between male and female actors in the industry, having appeared in 'Angrezi Medium', 'Pataakha', 'Shiddat', and 'Sarfira'. The topic gained recent attention following Deepika Padukone 's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, where she was said to have asked for an eight-hour workday, which prompted renewed discussion around work-life balance and gender inequity within Bollywood. Radhika Madan on eight-hour shoot days The actress told Hindustan Times that she has had both 12-to-14-hour days of shooting and shorter days of eight hours. She believes that the work itself is the same, but working against deadlines allows the team to be more committed and concentrated, therefore, the shoot takes place within that time. She said she has seen films filmed, and released, and even be box office successes, all under these turns of time, and if she had not seen it herself, she would not have believed it to be possible to work and achieve, within working hours. On equality in Bollywood At a recent event, Radhika addressed the ongoing discussion regarding workplace equality in the Bollywood industry. She added that whenever women stand by working conditions equal to their male counterparts, those demands should be treated as commonplace rather than unreasonable claims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo She affirmed that these kinds of discussions can be collaborative when the respect and understanding are mutual, and she also pointed out that part of the concern comes from the availability of time privileges that some male actors have but not many women. Touching upon her own experience with professional burnout, Madan recalled the toll of working across seven projects in a single year. She shared that the emotional weight of multiple roles affected her deeply, leading to depression and forcing her to seek help. According to her, the industry needs to recognize the reality of burnout and move towards greater equality—without favouring male actors with special treatment. Recalls her marathon shoot days During a recent YouTube vlog with Farah Khan, the actress revisited her debut experience and the grueling schedule that came with it. When Farah remarked that Radhika probably didn't have an eight-hour shift on her first show, Radhika responded that she had endured non-stop shoots lasting 48 to 56 hours. Farah then added her own perspective, noting that she doesn't advocate for the eight-hour work model either, quipping that such relentless effort is what creates something truly valuable—comparing it to how gold is forged through intense pressure.
