Meet actress who started her career with Mahesh Babu at 24, played a surrogate mom at 31, is a National Award winner, her name is....
Before the lights, fame, and awards, Kriti Sanon stood teary-eyed in the middle of a ramp walk, humiliated, shaken, but quietly determined to rise. Today, she's a celebrated actor, a National Award winner, and a rising force in Bollywood, but her journey wasn't all red carpets and spotlights. From a middle-class dreamer to the big screen Born on July 27, 1990, into a humble middle-class family, her father a chartered accountant, her mother a professor, Kriti always dreamed of cinema. She started her film journey in 2014 opposite Mahesh Babu in the Telugu film 1: Nenokkadine, which earned her praise and set her path toward Bollywood. That same year, she made her Hindi debut with Heropanti, co-starring Tiger Shroff. The audience noticed her, and soon, so did the industry. But success didn't come without scars In an early modelling assignment at a farmhouse, Kriti's heel sank into wet soil mid-ramp walk. What followed was a public scolding by her choreographer in front of a crowd. 'I felt humiliated… I cried right there,' she shared in an interview. But instead of breaking her, the moment pushed her harder. 'It made me more focused,' she recalled. 'Mimi' changed everything Though films like Dilwale, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Raabta built her reputation, it was Mimi (2021), where she played a surrogate mother, that earned Kriti her first National Film Award. Her portrayal was powerful, emotional, and career-defining. Where is she now? At 35, Kriti has worked with some of the industry's biggest names and even turned producer with her upcoming film Do Patti. She's starred in Adipurush, Bhediya, Ganapath, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Shehzada, proving her versatility and command over the screen.
