In the glitz and glamour of Bollywood, relationships often make for heartfelt stories and engaging conversations. Actress Kriti Sanon, who has recently been in the limelight for her stellar performance in the new movie ‘Crew,’ added her own personal touch to this ever-evolving storyline of love and preferences. During a candid interaction on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the actress expressed her fondness for Indian men and the qualities she looks for in a potential partner.
Kriti’s confession about her attraction to Indian men has piqued the interest of her fans and followers alike. “Abhi tak I haven’t gotten attracted to an absolute white man except for like you feel that Ryan Gosling is hot and all. You can find people hot but I haven’t fallen for someone who is not completely Indian. Never say never but, I would prefer to date a guy who is a little desi,” Kriti shared, unabashedly putting forth her thoughts.
Her personal preference stems from her own cultural roots, as she added, “That’s because I’m too desi. I need the partner to at least understand Hindi, he may choose not to speak the language at all. Mere mooh se Hindi nikalne waali hai, I can’t always talk in English.” Kriti, who has played versatile roles in her acting career, resonates with her cultural identity strongly, which expands beyond language to even her taste in music and entertainment. “I can’t dance for too long on English songs, I’m gonna play Hindi songs and Punjabi songs,” she remarked, highlighting her love for Indian music.
Kriti’s remarks offer an insight into her personality and preferences, ones that are often overlooked in the glossy pages of celebrity magazines. It’s a refreshing perspective amidst a culture that’s rapidly globalizing, where she embraces her ‘desi’ inclination with pride. Her statement transcends beyond mere language barriers, touching upon a shared cultural understanding that she yearns for in a significant other.
Her emphasis on ‘desiness’ is not just about shared language, but rather about a shared experience, the joy of connecting over Bollywood dramas, Indian festivals, and spontaneous dance sessions to bhangra beats. Sanon is seeking what many might consider a classic love story with a modern twist—a connection that is deeply rooted in cultural nuances yet up to speed with the contemporary world.
Dating preferences are often a reflection of one’s values, beliefs, and upbringing. In Kriti’s case, her longing for a ‘desi’ partner mirrors her connection with her heritage. It is an affectionate nod to the essence of what makes her unique in an industry known for blending diverse backgrounds and stories.
As someone who has risen to fame through her talents and hard work, Kriti has approached her personal life with the same authenticity that she brings to her roles. The confession on Raj Shamani’s podcast is an extension of her off-screen persona, one that rejects a one-size-fits-all approach to love and chooses a path that stays true to her origins.
Kriti’s candidness also reflects a growing trend among celebrities who are opening up about their personal lives in their interactions with media. It serves as a reminder that behind the manifold characters they portray on-screen, they have individual preferences and qualities they cherish in their real-life relationships.
