Reflecting on her journey, she highlighted the difficult path she had to navigate before finally earning widespread recognition and critical acclaim.
Speaking about her struggles as an industry outsider, Kriti said, 'When you don't come from a film background, there's a great amount of uncertainty you have to deal with.'
