In just a decade, she’s not only captured the audience’s hearts but has carved her own throne backed by box office numbers, a National Award, entrepreneurial success, and a filmography that screams range.

Here’s how Kriti Sanon has become the face of modern-day superstardom:

1. From Engineer to National Award-Winning Actor

2. A Versatile Performer Who Owns Every Frame

From the emotional depth of Mimi to the robotic charm of Sifra in Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya, Kriti has shown an extraordinary ability to mould herself into any character. Her range is her power, and she uses it unapologetically.

3. Chemistry Queen: She Lights Up the Screen with Anyone
Whether it’s romancing Akshay Kumar, playing against Shahid Kapoor, or matching Dhanush’s intensity in the upcoming Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti brings effortless chemistry to the screen, no matter who her co-star is.

4. Back-to-Back Hattrick Success

Her recent streak, Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya, The Crew, and Do Patti – proves that Kriti is both a critical success and commercial strength. Three different genres, three unique roles, and three blockbusters.

5. A Force in Business and Branding
