It’s a week to pause and applaud the journey of one of Hindi cinema’s most remarkable self-made stars — Kriti Sanon. On 26th July, she completes four years since the release of Mimi, the film that earned her a National Award and firmly established her as a powerhouse performer. The very next day, 27th July, marks her birthday. Together, these two days symbolise how far she’s come — and the many paths she continues to create.
A National Award-Winning Performer
Kriti’s portrayal in Mimi wasn’t just moving. It was transformative. She brought honesty, vulnerability, and strength to a role that demanded emotional depth. The film became a benchmark, and the National Award that followed only affirmed what audiences had already felt that Kriti Sanon had arrived at a different league of performance.
Leading Big Franchises with Mass Appeal
She is currently one of the most sought-after actors in the industry. With Don 3 and Cocktail 2 in the pipeline, Kriti is headlining major commercial films that place her at the centre of big-screen storytelling. She has struck a rare balance between mainstream popularity and meaningful cinema, showing that you can be both relatable and aspirational, truly most in demand actress.
Building a Brand Beyond the Screen
Kriti’s entrepreneurial journey with Hyphen reflects her belief in purposeful living. As Co-founder and Chief Customer Officer, she is actively involved in shaping a wellness brand that prioritises simplicity and everyday care. It’s an extension of who she is grounded, thoughtful, and connected to real-life values.
A Confident Voice as Producer
With her production house, Blue Butterfly Films, Kriti stepped into a new chapter. Do Patti, her debut as a producer, wasn’t just a professional leap. It was a creative statement. Playing a double role in the film, she challenged herself yet again and delivered a performance that was layered and engaging. The film gave her a voice not just as an actor but as a storyteller.
The Outsider Who Carved Her Own Space
What makes Kriti’s journey stand out is that she started with no backing, no connections – only talent and determination. Over the years, her film choices have reflected courage and conviction. From Bareilly Ki Barfi to Mimi and Do Patti, she has shown a clear eye for stories that matter, roles that stretch her, and characters that stay with the audience.
As this special week unfolds, it reminds us of everything Kriti Sanon represents hard work, quiet strength, brave choices, and evolving artistry. She’s not just having a moment. She’s creating a legacy, one film, one role, and one bold step at a time.
