Kriti Sanon says ‘people are quick to blame the girl’ when a film fails: ‘I do come across really hurtful comments’

Kriti said that when one watches something that really moves them, it actually makes a difference when they compliment the actors and the creators for their work. “As actors, we thrive on validation,” she said.

When asked about the sexist narrative where a film’s failure is often blamed on women, Kriti said that the success or failure of a film is not dependent on one person. “I have come across really hurtful comments. A film, succeeding or not, is not one just person. It’s a whole team,” she said, and added, “I choose to ignore all of this and let my work speak because nothing else really matters.”

Kriti said that sexist narratives like this also exist in the field of sports. “People quickly blame it on the girl sometimes, in many cases, not just films, even matches sometimes,” she said and added, “Trolls are trolls, you can’t pay so much attention to them.”

Kriti will next be seen in Do Patti, with Kajol.
