Kriti Kharbanda, on hearing this name a smile appears in front of the eyes, which is sometimes mischievous and sometimes serious. Born on 29 October 1990 in Delhi, Kriti would hardly have thought in her childhood that one day she would make her place in the glittering world of Bollywood. But something else was written in her destiny, a journey which started from modeling and reached the shine of the big screen.

Kriti’s journey started with modeling and commercial. Her simple beauty and natural screen presence soon caught everyone’s attention. Within some time, he got an offer from the South Film Industry, and in the year 2009, he got his first break from the Telugu film ‘Boni’. Although the film did not do much, but Kriti’s acting was definitely noticed.

After Telugu cinema, Kriti also made her place in Kannada and Tamil films. While working in South films, he not only improved his acting skills but also felt connected with different languages and cultures. Gradually he turned towards Hindi cinema and knocked at the door of Bollywood.

Kriti entered Bollywood in the year 2016 with the film ‘Raaz Reboot’. Her pairing with Emraan Hashmi was noticed, but the real magic happened the next year. The film ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’ released in 2017 made him a household name. In this film, she played the character of Aarti Shukla, a girl who balances between her dreams and self-respect.

The film ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’ was not just a romantic story, but a mirror of emotions. While in Bollywood, weddings are often shown with magnificence, this film kept simplicity and reality at the centre. Kriti’s acting made this story heart-touching. His simple smile and emotional depth won the hearts of the audience.

Kriti later worked in many more successful films like ‘Housefull 4’, ‘Pagalpanti’ and ’14 Phere’. In every film he tried to show something new, sometimes a light comedy, sometimes an emotional character. She proved that she is not just a glamorous face but a talented and dedicated actress.

Kriti told in interviews that ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’ was not just a film for her, but an experience. She said that during the shooting she felt as if she was actually performing her marriage. The atmosphere of the set, the decoration, and the emotions of the characters of the family seemed so real that the line of imagination and reality blurred for them.

Kriti told that when she dressed up in a traditional bridal outfit for the first time, she became emotional after seeing herself in the mirror. The atmosphere of the set during the wedding rituals, sangeet and haldi scene was so lively that she started truly feeling the emotions of her character Aarti again and again. He said that this character touched him deeply.

Earlier, Kriti had also played a very different role in her Kannada film ‘Prem Adda’. In that film, she had to play the character of a village girl of the 80s, which was a completely new experience for her. She adopted a makeup-free look and changed her complexion and style according to the character. Kriti designed her own clothes for that film, with the help of her mother, so that the look looked absolutely authentic.

Kriti’s film journey continues even today. She has proved through her acting that she plays every character with all her heart. For him, acting is not just a profession but an emotional journey. Films like Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana brought him not only success but also the love and respect of the audience. His smile, hard work and honesty will keep him in the hearts of the audience in the years to come.
