Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon finds herself in the spotlight once more, but this time for a glimpse into her past. A video from her early days in the industry, an audition tape shot when she was merely 22 years old, has resurfaced on social media, drawing a wave of reactions from fans and critics alike.
The Resurfaced Audition Tape: A Glimpse into a Young Star's Hustle
In the recently circulated clip, a young Kriti Sanon introduces herself confidently. Dressed in a white off-shoulder frilled dress, she states her name and height, saying, "Hi, I am Kriti Sanon, I am 5'9", and these are my profiles." The audition involved performing intense scenes, including a dramatic drowning rescue sequence. A notable moment in the tape is when the actress expressed her discomfort with wearing a two-piece outfit for the role, showcasing her boundaries even at the start of her career. She then proceeded to perform a cliff rescue scene, demonstrating her commitment to the acting process.
Netizens Weigh In: Praise and Nepotism Jabs
The viral video quickly became a talking point, with the online community sharing mixed opinions. While many applauded her dedication and raw talent, others used the opportunity to comment on the industry's nepotism debate. One user remarked, "These star kids nowadays don't even go through the hurdles of audition," implying that outsiders like Sanon had a tougher path. Another comment took a satirical dig, stating, "Nepo kids be like: Whts audition? Humein toh sirf audi car pata hai." However, several supporters defended her, with one posting, "She did best. hats off to her," acknowledging her journey from auditions to stardom.
Kriti Sanon's Current Cinematic Line-Up
This flashback to her beginnings comes at a time when Kriti Sanon is actively shaping her present and future in Bollywood. She was last seen in Aanand L. Rai's 'Tere Ishk Mein' alongside Dhanush. The film, which hit theaters on November 28, 2025, unfortunately, failed to attract a significant audience to the box office.
Looking ahead, the actress has an exciting slate of projects. She is set to star in the much-anticipated 'Cocktail 2', directed by Homi Adajania. The film will feature Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, and reports suggest veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan might also be part of the cast. The movie is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026.
Furthermore, Kriti Sanon's pipeline includes two major sequels. She is confirmed for 'Don 3', stepping into a key role in the popular franchise. Additionally, she will reprise her role in the sequel to the hit horror-comedy 'Bhediya', promising a diverse range of performances for her fans in the coming years.
