Kriti Sanon bagged her first National Film Award for Best Actor last year for her performance in `Mimi`. She made her acting debut in Bollywood in the year 2014 with the film `Heropanti`. Even before she completed a decade in the industry, she bagged her first National award and is among the top stars of the industry. However, becoming an actor was not an easy choice for her as she faced resistance from her family. Her parents are both into academics- a CA father and the mother, a professor.
Talking to Neha Dhupia on the show `No Filter Neha` earlier this year, Kriti recalled how she convinced her parents to get on board for her dream of becoming an actor. She said, “When I started modelling, my dad was against it. He felt, ‘it would distract her, kya faida hai (what’s the use)? She is a studious kid’.” She continued, “I was very very nerdy and yet I wanted to be a model. But before you start it professionally, they make your parents sign a contract because you are still really young.”
