A little bit of me still feels like an outsider - Kriti Sanon
Was it like an acting class on the sets of your next film with Ayushmann Khurrana and Raj Kummar Rao, as they're known for their acting skills?
Kriti:I think it has been an acting class on every film that way (laughs). You are learning and growing as an actor all the time. A lot of the scenes seem more alive when you are performing with a good actor. It is the give and take that matters. When you are surrounded by amazing actors, there is so much energy on the sets. Everybody has their own inputs, and sometimes, if the scene is not as exciting on paper, improvisations happen. There are so many reactions that you don't expect, and when you get them, something really magical happens in a scene.
Are you careful about your film choices?
Kriti:Everything moves so fast these days. Earlier, even if one or two of your films didn't do well, people used to never write you off completely. Now, people are not that lenient. So, the choices you make are really important. And I am a little picky, but I don't regret that. It is important to be excited about a film. When I am about to start a film, I need to feel that excitement and goosebumps the night before.
Do you now feel completely settled in the industry?
Kriti:Not completely, but it is better. As you do films, you get to know more people. And as you know more people, you feel a little more comfortable at their parties and social events. I'm not completely comfortable. A bit of me still feels like an outsider. I am assuming that it is only going to get better ahead.
If not an actor, what would you have chosen as your profession?
Kriti:I think when you dream of something passionately, you can't give up. Even if you try to give up at some point, you won't be happy. It's better to try harder for your dream than just follow something which you don't enjoy. I can't think of anything otherwise. I also gave my GMAT entrance exams after I finished the first schedule of my Telugu film. That was a condition my parents had put up. They believed acting is not a secure career. And, as a daughter, it was my responsibility to make them feel secure.
