She made her debut with Tiger Shorff in &#8216;Heropanti&#8217; and quickly caught the audience\u2019s attention. Over the years, she has delivered hit films like &#8216;Bareilly Ki Barfi&#8217;, &#8216;Luka Chuppi&#8217;, and &#8216;Mimi&#8217;, with the latter winning her the National Award for Best Actress. <\/p>\n<p>Kriti opens up on challenges outsiders face in Bollywood<\/p>\n<p>In a chat with CNN-News18, Kriti spoke openly about the struggles of outsiders in Bollywood. She said, \u201cYou need to really be passionate about it and there is no shortcut. Nothing comes easy, there are no free lunches. You have to work hard towards it, and what is also very, very important is not to give up, because there will be times, especially when you don\u2019t come from a film background, when no one\u2019s giving you anything on a platter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kriti Sanon Turns 35! Rumoured Beau Kabir Bahia Drops \u2018Heart\u2019, Celebs Send Love<\/p>\n<p>She further added, \u201cThere will be so many people telling you why it\u2019s too big a dream, why it can\u2019t happen, why contact is needed, why connections are needed, or what is wrong with you, you\u2019re too short, you\u2019re too tall, you\u2019re too thin, you\u2019re not in the right shape, whatever. I feel people are going to tell you what\u2019s wrong with you; no one\u2019s really going to tell you that you can do it other than you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kriti stresses the importance of patience and passion<\/p>\n<p>Kriti also spoke about the importance of staying focused and continuously improving oneself. She said that one needs to be very driven, passionate, and patient, and that success will come when the time is right. She emphasised that it is crucial to keep working on oneself and that the years spent before landing a big film should not be seen as a setback, but rather as time to grow and get better. Sanon added, \u201cJust have a different approach maybe it\u2019s taking so long because you need that time to work on yourself, to get better. So it\u2019ll happen when the time is right, I promise you that, but you have to be at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kriti Sanon\u2019s upcoming films<\/p>\n<p>Kriti was last seen in &#8216;Do Patti&#8217;, where she impressed audiences with a double role.
