Quotes from Kriti Sanon

My parents were never into films, but I hope to make them proud with my work some day. In any case, in Bollywood, your surname matters only till your first, second, or third film at most. Beyond that, you are on your own.

I had learnt Kathak for six years from the age of eight and did a foundation course from Kathak Kendra in Delhi. I was not fond of classical dance, but today, I'm glad my mom made me do it.

If you don't come from film family, it takes time for people to register you. When you don't come from film family, the connection with the audience takes time to build up; it happens eventually.

I played a tomboy character in 'Dohchay.'

'Dilwale' has increased my audience reach; I have gained in every way possible.

I'm an independent woman and a feminist.

The title 'Dohchay' is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.

If you request for a little time to fulfill a commitment, you're accused of being arrogant. I repeat, I've achieved nothing to be arrogant about.

There was a lot of pressure on me when I signed 'Dilwale,' and though it did not do as well in India, overseas the business was crazy despite competition from another film.

False stories used to affect me initially. But now, I've come to understand that if false stories are created, they are also forgotten in the long run.

I am very instinctive when it comes to a script.

Actors don't have to be linked in real life for the chemistry to be translated on screen.

Luckily, for me, my first producer Sajid Nadiadwala treats both Tiger Shroff and me like his kids. He's very protective.

I'm learning to work under pressure. Yesteryear songs are slow and demanding on the expressions.

The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.

The journey from engineering to acting just happened. I guess some things are meant to be.

I particularly like Shah Rukh Khan's style. He is very laid back and very comfortable with whatever he carries.

My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.

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. But while I was modelling and doing TV commercials, I really loved being in front of the camera. I enjoyed the shooting process.

Sometimes when I talk, I sound like a feminist because I get really angry when I hear certain things. For instance, a lot of families don't really educate their girls much while they educate their sons to the full extent. I think that's not fair.

I could not make mistakes while choosing films when I started out.

My mom keeps khabar of everything, so I don't feel lonely.

In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.
