Kriti Sanon has emerged as one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood, delivering remarkable performances since the early days of her career. Currently, she is in the spotlight for her role alongside Kajol in the film Do Patti, where her acting has received widespread praise. Despite her current success, Kriti recently opened up about the challenges she faced in her early years in the industry, particularly regarding how she was perceived following her debut in Heropanti.
In a recent interview, Kriti shared that after her debut with Tiger Shroff in Heropanti, many people didn’t recognize her by name. Instead, she was often referred to as “Tiger Shroff’s heroine” or even “Tiger Didi” by children who saw her as an extension of her co-star.
She humorously recalled how Ashwini Iyer Tiwari’s children, the director of her film Bareilly Ki Barfi, used to call her “Tiger Didi” because they, too, didn’t know her name at the time. However, Kriti emphasized how her role in Bareilly Ki Barfi marked a turning point in her career, helping her carve out her own identity and earn recognition as an individual talent in the industry.
Kriti reflected on the process of building a name in Bollywood, noting that it takes time for audiences to associate a new face with a name, especially when someone starts their career alongside a major star. For her, this journey toward recognition was gradual but fulfilling, as she now enjoys widespread recognition by name.
After debuting with Heropanti, Kriti gained further recognition for her role in Bareilly Ki Barfi, where her performance was critically acclaimed. She then went on to star in other films, including her well-received performance alongside Shahid Kapoor in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Currently, Kriti is garnering even more praise for her double role in Do Patti alongside Kajol, solidifying her reputation as one of Bollywood’s most versatile and talented actresses.
From being known as “Tiger Didi” to establishing herself as a powerhouse performer, Kriti Sanon’s journey in Bollywood is a testament to perseverance and talent.
