KRITI SANON
Being an engineering student, what inspired you to enter Bollywood? How did you manage to succeed without having a famous mentor or surname?
I think there are a lot of people who do not know what they really want to do in life, and they just make choices based on their feeling at that point. I did not know what an engineer would do but I chose that subject because I felt it was something that I might develop liking towards. I started modelling when I was in the second year of B.Tech, and I started doing some TV commercials. That is when I realised that I enjoyed the shooting process, and I could act. I was always into dance since childhood but acting was something that I had never given a shot. So, I finished my B.Tech, moved to Mumbai and started giving auditions.
I told my parents that I would take GMAT entrance exam while I also try for films so that, if things do not work out, I have a good score to fall back on. They were very concerned, but at the same time, they gave me the freedom to follow my heart and to run after my dreams.
I have been blessed and fortunate that I got a great first film which not too many people end up getting.
