Kriti Sanon has become one of the top actresses of bollywood today. Kriti made her debut in hindi cinema with tiger shroff in Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Heropanti'. After this film, she got the tag of 'Tiger's heroine'. Since then, she has come a long way and has made a special place for herself in the film industry with blockbusters like 'Bareilly Ki Barfi', 'Luka Chuppi' and 'Bhediya'. Kriti also won the National Award for her role as a surrogate mother in 'Mimi'. However, it took her many years to remove the label of Tiger's heroine.
Kriti Sanon was called 'Tiger Didi'
In an interview to the indian Express, Kriti had told that during her early years in the film industry, she was called 'Tiger Didi'. The actress said that when filmmaker ashwini Iyer Tiwari's children used to call her 'Tiger Didi', she decided to change the situation.
The actress said, "When you are not from the industry (film family), it takes you more time to mark your name and face in people's minds. At that time, the children of ashwini Iyer Tiwari, who later directed Bareilly Ki Barfi, used to call me 'Tiger Didi'. These were examples when I realized that I have to work twice as hard to make people recognize me and know who I am.''
What did Kriti say about 'Heropanti'?
Talking about her first film, Kriti told that it did not take much time for her to get her first break. The actress said, "At the time of Heropanti, although people knew tiger and this film was the mark of his launch but the director and producer considered the film as launching two new faces. I also got the Best bollywood Actress moment with songs and everything. " Heropanti, a remake of the telugu film parugu (2008), grossed Rs 78 crore worldwide upon its release and was a commercial hit.
