Mumbai: The tall and pretty Kriti Sanon who made a grand Bollywood entry with Heropanti, starring opposite debutant actor Tiger Shroff, is basking in all the praise coming her way. The actress has some interesting films in her kitty after her first outing and is expected to star opposite Akshay Kumar in Singh is Bling.
Talking about the new-found fame in the Hindi film industry, Kriti says, “I was used to people recognising me in the South, but it feels nice to be noticed among Bollywood audiences now. There have been times when people started playing Heropanti songs in the market and even at the airport after spotting me there. The feeling of being recognised in different cities is overwhelming.”
Though Kriti is being noticed, Heropanti was essentially positioned to be Tiger’s launch pad. Did that worry her at any point? She says, “I was never worried about that really. When I heard the narration for the first time, I was convinced of the story and knew that my role would match up to Tiger’s.
We were both treated equally on the sets too. It’s natural for the media to relate to him faster because he’s the son of an actor (Jackie Shroff). But I got noticed too.
