In a recent interview where they discussed dealing with break-up relationships and more Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon and her sister Nupur revealed secrets about one another. Kriti has dated two people to date with her longest relationship lasting 2.5 years according to Nupur. Kriti acknowledged being a ‘hopeless romantic love letter’ but not in the manner of the 1970s and 1980s. In response to a question regarding the characteristics of a potential partner Kriti told Pinkvilla ‘I am more organic about chemistry and don't have a checklist.’ Nupur adds that the person must have her approval but Kriti responds I don't think it matters. I won't wait for ten others to approve before deciding whether I should stay with this person or not. Kriti Sanon said I like loyalty and the lack of it often tears my heart.

Struggles
Kriti Sanon responded to a question regarding her switch from engineering to acting by saying It was always a thing in my house that I should have a degree because this is not a stable job - film mile na mile chale na chale dusri mile na mile. Additionally, she disclosed that after signing Farzi with Shahid Kapoor the movie was never released. Kriti Sanon has revealed a lot about her days of struggles. The actress claimed that as a result of her numerous film auditions, her acting has significantly improved. The actress's diversified performances have helped her stand out in the field. The film industry has given her a unique identity.
Reminiscing about her challenging times the actress claimed that a very large production company had offered her a role in the movie but it was an unremarkable one. That is why she declined to act in movies. Kriti Sanon acknowledged in her interview that the manager had been told by a third party that Kriti would not progress on this. She added that there came a moment when Star Kid took his spot. In addition to making her Bollywood debut with Heropanti in 2014, Kriti made her Telugu debut with the horror movie Nenokkadine.

I've performed in a lot of auditions which has helped me get much better. She claimed that she had participated in many film tests where they had sought newcomers before signing a star child or an actress which had resulted in much heartache. I used to question why auditions were ever held if you didn't want to accept fresh applicants.
