Actress Kriti Kharbanda who started her career with a Telugu film in 2009, on Saturday completed 12 years in the industry. Remembering her journey from the very beginning she penned a post expressing her gratitude and experience throughout the years she has spent in the entertainment industry.
On Saturday, she took to her Instagram handle and had a live session where she chatted with her fans celebrating her 12 years as an actor. She shared a post on her handle and wrote, “12 years ago, on the 12th of June, I began a journey. As a teenager, I took my first steps into this industry, that has ultimately shaped me into the person I am today. In my time as an actor, I’ve met so many people who I’m grateful for. I’ve learned lessons, and so much about myself. I found my calling, it became my identity. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the best people in the industry. So, to everybody associated with my career- be it for a minute, a day, or the last 12 years, I have nothing but gratitude for you.”
She talked about how she has become a better version of herself and wrote, “From Pragati, to Dr.Swathi, to aarti Shukla to rajkumari Meena, and now Aditi, somewhere along the line I grew up. I went from being an immature teenager who was timid to an adult who is strong and bold. I was kid who loved playing dress up and dancing to the kickass numbers of the 90’s and now I get to do that for a living. I cannot imagine a bigger blessing. Today I watch a full generation and more perform to my numbers, recreating things that I have done, and the feeling is surreal.”
She further expressed her gartitude and penned, “It can be hard to put into words how grateful I feel. I wouldn’t be here without the support of my family, my friends, my teachers who gave me the confidence to believe I was destined for bigger things. A big shout out to my fans and fan clubs. You guys believe in me even when I have doubts, and that becomes the driving force for me to do better and believe in myself some more. You guys make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”
Encouraging people, “While the world looks exciting and glamorous, which it is 🙂 it’s also tedious and difficult. But then again, what isn’t 🙂 this is my 24/7 ! I love who I’ve become. The simple middle class girl has become ambitious and self confident! If somebody out there is reading this, unaware of what path to take, I hope my story serves you well and you find the confidence to take that chance, and jump right into doing the things you love. Maybe 12 years down the line, you’ll find yourself where I am, today 🙂 overwhelmed with gratitude and giddy with excitement!,” she added.
“Looking forward to many many many more years of this feeling. Thank you once again :),” she concluded.
Kriti was super nostalgic as she talked about her 12 years long journey, from the ‘Boni’ to ‘Raaz: Reboot which was her first Bollywood film, she has come a long way. Speaking about Kriti’s upcoming projects, she will be gracing the silver screen in 14 Phere alongside Vikrant Massey.
