A glimpse into the humble beginnings of a Bollywood star has captured the internet's attention. An old audition clip featuring a young Kriti Sanon, long before she became a household name, has resurfaced and gone viral on social media.
The Viral Audition Tape: A Glimpse of a Future Star
The video features a 22-year-old Kriti Sanon, looking fresh-faced with minimal makeup, dressed in a simple white one-shoulder dress. She confidently introduces herself to the camera, stating, "Hi, I am Kriti Sanon, I am 5'9." She is seen holding a slate with her name, age, and height details clearly written. When asked about her availability for the audition dates, she agrees promptly.
However, the budding actor also sets a clear boundary. She explicitly mentions, "But I am not comfortable in a two-piece," showcasing her self-awareness and comfort limits even at that early stage of her career. The clip then cuts to her performing a rescue scene, where she acts out being trapped by smoke and calling for help, displaying early glimpses of her acting chops.
From Audition Rooms to Box Office Success
This throwback comes at a time when Kriti Sanon is enjoying significant success. She was recently seen in Aanand L Rai's film 'Tere Ishk Mein' opposite Dhanush, a project that turned out to be a major box office hit, earning over Rs 150 crore worldwide. Her journey began with her Telugu debut in '1: Nenokkadine' and her Hindi film debut in the 2014 movie 'Heropanti' with Tiger Shroff.
Since then, Kriti has cemented her place as one of Bollywood's most sought-after actors with successful films like Dilwale, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4. In 2024, she expanded her role in the industry by turning producer for the Netflix film 'Do Patti', where she also played a double role alongside Kajol.
Future Projects and Entrepreneurial Ventures
Fans have a lot to look forward to from the actor. Kriti Sanon's next big-screen appearance will be in the highly anticipated 'Cocktail 2', which also stars Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, directed by Homi Adajania.
Beyond acting and production, Kriti has successfully ventured into entrepreneurship. She is the founder of the skincare brand Hyphen and co-founded The Tribe India, a premium fitness and training studio, showcasing her versatility as a businesswoman.
The resurfaced audition tape has sparked a wave of affectionate comments from fans. Many praised her natural beauty and 'girl-next-door' vibe, with one user noting she looked like "the most famous and popular girl in college." The clip serves as a charming reminder of the journey every star undertakes, from nervous auditions to reigning over the box office and beyond.
