The gorgeous Kriti Sanon keeps us guessing about her ‘raabta’ with co-star Sushant Singh Rajput.Raghuvendra Singh enjoys the tongue-in-cheek conversation.

- Raghuvendra Singh

A rare combination of heart, head and humility, Kriti Sanon is both beautiful and sensitive. Her IQ is rivalled by her EQ as she’s imbibed the best of both her engineering background and her artistic vocation. She’s barely a few films old, but her fan following and her star value overshadow her experience. She knows better than to get swayed by hearsay or adulation. Brushing aside the romantic link-up and controversies, she keeps her feet on the ground. She’d rather focus on her films than the unwarranted drama of being a star. Measured, intelligent and just as enchanting, Kriti is the new age actress. Raabta, Sushant Singh Rajput and myriad emotions… this young girl is good at frank talk…

Raabta is about soulmates. Do you believe in soulmates?

I’m not sure about the Dil-ToPagal-Hai-kind-of soulmate, that someone somewhere is made for you. But I believe in raabta (connection). I do believe that sometimes you connect with people in an instant. There are people whom I’ve met for the first time and ended up chatting with them for hours. I felt I just knew them. I do believe in love. But I don’t know whether soulmates exist. For example, Dinu (producer Dinesh Vijan) and I can chat for hours. Same with Sabbir sir (Khan, director Baaghi). Maybe, we’re Leos that’s why. There’s also Athiya (Shetty). It’s strange because I’ve met her once or twice at parties. She’s someone warm. I get a good vibe from her. I’d always want well for her. It’s inexplicable. She’s not even my best friend. You do forge a connect with some people, something you can’t put a finger on.

What about your raabta with Sushant Singh Rajput? Apparently, you two bonded well over hometown Delhi, food and engineering...
