In the same interview, Kriti got candid about the struggles that shaped her journey in the film industry. She spoke about going through long stretches of frustration and longing for more meaningful roles, a feeling that persisted until 'Mimi' came along and changed things for her. “There were roles I came very close to that eventually went to star kids, something that was beyond my control. When you don’t come from a film background, there’s a great amount of uncertainty you have to deal with. It has been a process of gradual growth, with me taking risks and making more intentional choices. I have earned every opportunity; nothing has been handed to me. There was a phase where nothing was working, and it felt confusing. However, I am grateful for that period, because it gave me clarity on what I do not want to pursue. Failures teach you far more than success does," she said.
