Kriti Sanon Debut Days: “Tiger didi”. This is what Kriti Sanon remembered kids calling her. The Do Patti actress recently recalled her early years of debut with actor Tiger Shroff in Heropanti. After the movie’s success, Kriti felt the need to work twice as hard as an actor to build her own image. During that time, Kriti Sanon was primarily referred to as “Tiger Shroff’s heroine.” While Tiger was already well-known as veteran actor Jackie Shroff’s son, Kriti had done only one film prior to that, in the Telugu film industry, 1: Nenokkadine.
Kriti on not having connections in Bollywood
Kriti told in an interview, “It didn’t take me that many years to get my first break. At the time of Heropanti, though people knew Tiger and that the movie marked his launch, the director and producer treated the movie as launching two new faces. I got the quintessential Bollywood heroine moment too, with songs and everything,” However, for a while after that, people referred to me as ‘the one who appeared in Tiger Shroff’s movie.’ When you are not from the industry (film family), it takes longer for you to etch you name and face into the minds of people. At that point the kids of Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, who later directed Bareilly Ki Barfi, used to call me ‘Tiger didi.’ Those were the instances when I realised I would have to work doubly hard to get people to recognise me and know me for who I am,” she said, adding that Bareilly Ki Barfi was the turning point when people finally started recognising her for who she was.

All we can say is, Kriti is no more a ‘Tiger Shroff’s heroine‘ but a National Award- winning actress who is now ready for the release of her third film of the year, director Shashanka Chaturvedi’s Do Patti. After a rather lackluster 2023, marked by consecutive box-office bombs, Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon rebounded in a big way this year, with both of her films released in 2024 — Teri Batoon Main Aisa Uljha Jiya and Crew — becoming major successes. While Crew, the heist comedy where she starred alongside Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan, became the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024, the science-fiction romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, co-starring Shahid Kapoor, secured the fourth spot.
