Indian actress Kriti Kharbanda says that this is the very time in eight years that she is single. Kriti made her Bollywood debut with the horror movie titled ‘Raaz: Reboot’ in 2016, followed up with the romantic comedy movie ‘Guest In London’. Currently, she is gearing up for her upcoming comedy movie with a title ‘‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’, which is directed by Ratnaa Sinha and produced by Vinod Bachchan. The movie features Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Kharbanda in the lead.
Kriti will also be seen in the movie ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 3’, which will feature all the three Deols. She will also do the cameo in the Dulquer Salmaan’s love interest in the movie ‘Karwaan’ and she will also be seen in the movie ‘Veerey Ki Wedding’ along with the actor Pulkit Samrat. After a year, she is unable to get over from the fact that her Bollywood debut movie went bust. She feels that the very first movie in any of the language is always like a new start and it takes a toll when it does not work.
However, Kriti feels that she was very much upset when her debut Bollywood movie did not do well, but the movie did get her the appreciation because of the songs were liked by the audience in that she got noticed. Kriti made her acting career with the Telugu movie titled ‘Boni’ in 2009 and later she is one of the front-runners in the Kannada cinema. She even got voted as the Banglore’s Most Desirable Woman in the year 2015 and in the same year she made her Tamil film debut with GV Prakash Kumar’s action-comedy movie with a title Bruce Lee.
Currently, she is gearing up for her upcoming movie titled ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’, where she is playing the role of an Aarti Shukla, she is very passionate, ambitious but gullible small-town girl. She confesses that there was a time in her life when even she wanted to get married like her character and she wanted to balance her career along with her home. However, today she is only focusing on her career.
There were many of the recently released movies like ‘Behen Hogi Teri’ and ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ that has been shot in Lucknow. However, Kriti says that in her case the city was an inevitable choice because the director Ratnaa Sinha belongs from that city and this has seen that life up close. Just to enhance the authenticity the makers of the movie have hired the real caterers for a wedding in the movie ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’. There were stalls of Pani Puri, kebab stalls on the set and Kriti say that after having every shot Rajkummar used to say that let’s go and have Pani Puri. She gorges on the biryani and kebabs every day and Rajkummar is pure vegetarian so he had a limited option in the city of the Nawabs and he could only have mithais. Kriti has gained three and a half kg by the end of the movie.
Kriti says that when she will be inviting guests to her own wedding, she wonders what will happen. She says that this is the very first time in the eight years that she is single and she is enjoying herself. Now she has realized that the most important thing is that you have to be comfortable being single if you do not get that comfort level in the relationship then there is no need of that relationship. She says that she is young and she has no time on her side and she feels that if your relationship works then it is very good and if it does not work than you can not do anything about it. However, she is just not thinking to get married at this age but she will think about live-in-relationship before taking the pheras.
After her break up she was in a low phase but she feels that she is very lucky to have such family support to see her through the difficult time. They have all made it and now she can say that she was not happy in that relationship. She admits that once she wanted to be a star to be famous and today she wants to be known so her voice can be heard. She has been through hell and there was a time when she felt alone despite she was surrounded by her family, but she wished that someone else would around her to help her. She says that she still remember Deepika Padukone’s interview where she admits that she is suffering from a depression and anxiety attacks. She praises the actress that it takes a lot of guts to say something like this on the national television. At that, she decided that she decided that she will help those people who are actually suffering from depression and she will be always there along with the person who needs her help.
She has recently wrapped the shoot of his Malayalam movie which features Dulquer Salman in Kochi. From October 27, she will be going to start up the second schedule of the movie ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 3’ and in that movie, she will be seen playing the Bobby Deol’s lady love. Her character in the movie is a girl from a medical student from Gujarat. On the very first day of the shooting, she says that she was very nervous that she has to perform in the front of the three Deols and especially in front of Dharamji, but she says that when she has learnt this from the cinematography then he put her as an ease saying that Why is she nervous? Kriti says that he even said that the movie is going to be a really great Kharbanda and now she is eagerly waiting to go back on the sets.
The movie ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’ is all set to release on November 10, 2017.
