Kriti Sanon slams nepotism, reveals role losses 

Bollywood star Kriti Sanon, known for recent hits like “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” and “Crew,” opened up about the struggles of her journey. Despite her modeling background and current success, Kriti faced frustration early on. In a candid interview, she revealed losing roles to actors with family connections in the industry (nepotism). This highlights the challenges faced by even talented outsiders trying to break into Bollywood. 

Kriti said, “There was a phase where I was just very restless because I knew that I had way more potential than what I could portray in the opportunities that I had in front of me.” Explaining that she wants to do some substantial roles to stand out as an actress, she said, “I wanted something where I could just show my potential as an actor way more.”

The Crew star continued, “I was getting frustrated because I was like, I know I can do it; I know I can kill it, but I don’t have it in front of me.”

Kriti did not hesitate to mention how she saw some star kids sweep off movie roles at that point in her career without much effort. She said, “At that point, I was also seeing some new faces, some of them belonging to the film background, coming in having not done anything and getting opportunities that I was like, how.…”
