Being taller than her co-stars has posed occasional challenges for the 5-foot-9-inch Kriti Sanon, first with Varun Dhawan and now with Shahid Kapoor. To minimise the height difference with Shahid, Kriti has reportedly swapped heels for flats during Cocktail 2 promotions. Former Miss Universe and actress Sushmita Sen says, “Some of my heroes weren’t tall enough for me. It’s funny that some of my heroes had to look up at me, though I never looked down on them.”
Not even with Salman Khan and Govinda? “Luckily for me, both Biwi No.1 and Kyunki Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta were directed by David Dhawan,” Sushmita recalls. “He always let me wear whatever I wanted. If I wanted to wear high heels, he would simply say, ‘Go right ahead.’”
