Nobody handed Kriti Sanon a place at the top. She says she is not looking sideways to keep it either. The only competition she acknowledges is with her own last performance.

Kriti Sanon addressed the constant chatter around actress comparisons and industry rankings in a recent interview. Her answer was direct.

“If you just know what you’re doing, what you want to do in life and where you’re headed, if you’re secure in yourself, none of it matters. These are just traction-related conversations, which people use to make others feel insecure,” she said.

She also made clear what her actual benchmark is. “Everyone brings something different to the table. There’s no one way of doing a scene. The only race that I’m in is that I want to do better than what I have done before. I genuinely want to grow and I want the next performance to feel like, ‘Oh, this is her best,’ or ‘This is better than the previous one.’ That is an achievement to me because that charts my growth,” she added.

The context

The comments come after the release of ‘Cocktail 2’, in which Kriti plays a character named Ally. The film has performed not-so-well at the box office.

Kriti made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with ‘Heropanti’. Her career gained significant momentum after ‘Dilwale’ in 2015 and ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ in 2017. She won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for ‘Mimi’ in 2021, a film in which she played a surrogate mother. Her subsequent work includes ‘Bhediya’, ‘Shehzada’, ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’, and ‘Crew’.
