This is what Kriti Kharbanda, Deepika Padukone have in common

Sandalwood's very own Kriti Kharbanda, who has interesting projects lined up this year in

Bollywood

, including

Guest Iin London

and Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, is quite fond of Deepika Padukone. And there’s something the two share in common. They both hail from Bengaluru.

Kriti says, “Not many people know that I had met Deepika when I was auditioning to play her younger sister years ago. We are Bengaluru girls. I was 12 and she was 16, I guess. I was supposed to play her younger sister in an ad. I don't think that she was aspiring to be an actress back then. I was also very young.”

“I think other than being extremely beautiful and talented, Deepika is one of the nicest people I have met. I didn't expect her to be so humble; she made me feel very comfortable. The conversation we had has been very dear to me,” she adds.
