In an industry where action-packed blockbusters frequently eclipse gentler narratives, Kriti Sanon’s latest project ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ stands as a testament to the enduring allure of love stories, even those as unconventional as a romance between a human and a robotic companion. “People aren’t writing love stories well,” Sanon shares with a hint of regret, but her smile quickly reappears as she discusses the fresh conflict and fascinating premise of her new film. An embodiment of romantic curiosity, Sanon found herself enticed by the narrative’s novel approach and its ability to integrate a love story into the intricate fabric of an Indian family.
Sanon details her captivation during the script narration—feeling the romance, humor, and heartwarming moments that define a captivating love tale. This longing for a silver screen romance flows from her own interests as well, noting her affection for revisiting beloved classics such as the sitcom ‘Friends’ for their heartening and invigorating spirit.
She asserts that amidst the dominance of high-octane action sagas, there’s always room for a dose of tender love. Sanon praises ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ as a refreshing entertainer suited for a versatile audience—whether watched in the company of family, friends, or a significant other during special moments like Valentine’s Day. Its enchantment is amplified by Sanon’s on-screen chemistry with co-star Shahid Kapoor. Laughter punctuates her insight into the chemistry of their performances, explaining that the believable tenderness viewers will witness is the outcome of a mutual commitment to their roles—her reined portrayal of a humanoid interacting with Kapoor’s emotive contribution.
The conversation shifts from forthcoming heart-flutters to more personal endeavors, as the actor reflects on her journey into film production. With two more cinematic offerings on the horizon—’The Crew’ alongside distinguished actresses Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan, and the thriller ‘Do Patti’ featuring Kajol—Sanon is not only expanding her acting repertoire but is also marking her entry into the sphere of cinematic production. ‘Do Patti’ isn’t solely a thriller in genre but represents the thrill of a new challenge for Sanon as she steps into the realm of film production.
Sanon joins a vanguard of female actors, like Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt, who have traversed into producing, but her venture was initially met with skepticism. “It’s too soon for you to turn producer,” skeptics had told her, questioning her timing. But Sanon holds a resolute belief in her decision, driven by a desire to support scripts and being thoroughly involved beyond her acting contributions. Embracing the creative aspects of production and the novelty it presents, she equates this transition to her early days in acting—learning on the go, which, in turn, made the move to production a natural next step. It’s about being a newcomer, brimming with the zeal to learn from scratch, rather than comfortably treading familiar grounds. Sanon’s venture into production is not just another role but a symbol of her personal and professional growth within the dynamic landscape of Indian cinema.
Gracing screens and now shaping them from behind the scenes, Kriti Sanon is poised to be more than just a familiar face; she is proving to be a force synonymous with creativity, tenacity, and the power to redefine narratives both on and off the camera. ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ is not just another love story; it’s the canvas on which Sanon’s passion for cinema and storytelling continue to unfold in vibrant, heartwarming hues.
