The actress said, "When you don’t come from a film family, you don’t get your second film before your first film releases. Which happens when you come from a film family, many times. To even come on magazine covers is a big deal. You have to go through a lot to reach that place. Like coming on a Filmfare cover for the first time. My Vogue cover was after about three years and I have done only one till now,"

Kriti further added, "I just feel like those things, the small struggles which you sometimes see happening very easily with other people and you’re like ‘why, what?’. I am probably way more experienced." Kriti Sanon Gives 'Black Widow And Catwoman' Like Vibes In This Dabboo Ratnani Photo-Shoot, Actress Asks Filmmakers To Cast Her In a Superhero Film!

She is not holding on to any resentments, and instead puts a positive spin to it.
