Kriti Sanon has opened up about being chastised for her appearance, with people pointing out that her 'nostrils flare up' and she has a 'gummy smile.' Kriti also revealed in a new interview that she had been body-shamed, with someone telling her to take her 'waist a little more in.' She stated that she is "not a plastic doll" and has never felt the need to alter her appearance.
Kriti Sanon made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with the film Heropanti, directed by Sabbir Khan. Tiger Shroff and Prakash Raj also appear in the film. Kriti has appeared in several films since 2014, including Dilwale (2015), Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4. (2019).
Kriti said in an interview with Bollywood Bubble," There had been times when I was told to line my lips to (make it) look fuller. It didn’t make sense to me. I did try it once (she laughs). I was also told that my nostrils flare up a little bit when I smile. So, yes there will be criticism from everywhere. When I smile or laugh, sometimes they do but that’s normal na. I am not a plastic doll." She continued, " just never felt the need to change anything."
"People told me ‘You have gummy smile’. That I am born with, I can’t do anything about it. These are little little things that people don’t say it directly ki ‘yeh change karo (change this)’. I feel like those things everyone hears. Someone was telling me now it’s not the pressure, but I think the pressure is increasing with all these Instagram filters and everything coming, everyone wants to be perfect all the time. So, I have gone through that, heard things. Someone asked me to make my waist a little more in. Sometimes random people also say things. You have to make sure that you are not listening to just everybody."
Kriti was seen in Hum Do Hamare Do and Mimi last year. Kriti will appear in several films, including Adipurush with Prabhas. She also has Ganapath with Tiger Shroff, Bhediya with Varun Dhawan, Bachchan Pandey with Akshay Kumar, and Shehzada with Kartik Aaryan. Kriti will also appear in Anurag Kashyap's upcoming untitled film.
