Koffee With Karan Season 7 on Thursday morning hosted actors Kriti Sanon and Tiger Shroff. On the show, Karan peppered them with inquiries about their romantic relationships and professional aspirations.
Heropanti marked the debuts of Kriti and Tiger in 2014. She had also appeared in the auditions for Karan Johar’s film Student of the Year, but Alia Bhatt ultimately won the part. On the programme, Alia Bhatt was brought up repeatedly, largely by Karan.
Kriti Sanon about Competition jealousies and more
He asked Kriti Sanon about the competition she must feel from her contemporaries. He asked, “What about envy or competition or jealousy sometimes with your contemporaries? Is there a sense of ‘I need to do it’ and look beyond (your) shoulder and do better than her. There is so much chatter about Alia being the best actor in the country. Is there an acceptance at your level or it also driving you to get there yourself?”
Kriti replied that she is inspired by Alia Bhatt and others but also mentioned that perhaps she isn’t still called the ‘best actor in the country’ because she is not getting good enough opportunities. “Of course it drives me, inspires me to do better when I see great work…,” when Karan suggested, “like Gangubai (Kathiawadi).” Kriti Sanon replied, “Yea, you also feel that ‘I’d love to have an opportunity like that.’ I feel like Mimi, as an opportunity, when it came to me, it gave me the confidence to put in so much into that film. When I watch Alia or some amazing actors, I feel I need to get better at what I’m doing. So that’s always there.”
On Monday night, Kriti won the Best Actor (female) award at Filmfare Awards for Mimi. This is her second big award for the film after IIFA. In Mimi, Kriti played a surrogate to a foreign couple. However, when the parents ditch the baby, she decides to raise the child as her son. Kriti gained a lot of weight for the movie and her performance was appreciated by the audience.
The Mimi actress, during the course of the show, was asked by KJo, “Kriti you have been single for a while now, Is there anybody? There were rumours, I mean it came from…Somewhere in my party that Oh Kriti Sanon and Aditya Roy Kapur look so good together. We caught the canoodling in a corner, as in chatting.” Kriti’s reply was this, “We do look good together but you know me, I don’t canoodle in a corner but yes, we were talking and he is a fun guy to be around. There’s not been anything else.”
