It isn't an unknown fact that she is amongst the favourites of top directors and producers and all thanks to her immense talent, we as audience and cinema lovers, are getting to watch some impeccable acting and meet strong characters.

She further added that she is excited to see the transformation for the role that is close to her heart.

“For me, putting on so many kilos is actually a challenge as it’s very new for my body. I have to in a way fight my metabolism and increase my calorie intake to gain that much weight in a short time. But I’m excited to see the transformation. It's a role very close to my heart and I want to give it everything I can, even if that means not taking up any other work in the process," Kriti told.
