― Kriti Sanon
“Sudheer Varma is very easy going and very confident director. He knows exactly what he wants. He has a very good vision and knows how many shots he wants for a scene. He is super fast. He gives freedom for actors to try different things. The atmosphere on the sets was never serious. We had great fun working together.”
― Kriti Sanon
“I wouldn’t have taken up modeling as a profession. It was more of a hobby.”
― Kriti Sanon
“Modelling was never a career option for me; it was always a hobby. I was modelling while I was pursuing my B.Tech, so the obvious choice after finishing my studies was to do a job.

― Kriti Sanon
“When I started doing advertisements, I really enjoyed the whole process of shooting, and I realised that I could do the little bit of acting required quite easily.

― Kriti Sanon

― Kriti Sanon

― Kriti Sanon
“I auditioned for quite a lot of films. I do not wish to name the films I auditioned for. There were times when I knew I would not be fit for this film, or I would not get this film. Still, I used to audition for it just to get experience… to practice.”
― Kriti Sanon

― Kriti Sanon

“I think education is something that is very important no matter what you are doing. It makes you feel secure, independent, and helps you build confidence in yourself. It grooms your whole personality. So if it starts from the basic level; if the basic education that a girl and a boy receive is the same, I think a lot will change.”
― Kriti Sanon

― Kriti Sanon
“The more you do, the more you think, the better you get.”

“I can’t stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so much love without even knowing you personally. It’s overwhelming.”
― Kriti Sanon
“I actually moved from engineering to acting. I think what’s important is how talented and passionate you are.”

― Kriti Sanon

― Kriti Sanon
“I usually mug up my Telugu dialogues much before going to the sets every day.”
― Kriti Sanon

“I am just a beginner. The two films so far are baby steps. If I develop an attitude, I’ll be finished even before I’ve started. Besides, if I started misbehaving, my folks would give me a tight slap.”
― Kriti Sanon
“It’s sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.”
― Kriti Sanon
