MUMBAI: Kriti Kharbanda’s recent words in an interview serve as a grounded reminder of the invisible sacrifices and quiet strength parents bring to our lives. In the conversation, the actor opened up about the often-overlooked credit our parents deserve not just for raising us, but for shaping who we become.
“I don’t think we give our parents enough credit for how much they do for us, and I want to be that person. I want to be like them,” Kriti said, reflecting on her own upbringing and the values instilled in her by her family.
She went on to share a deeply personal insight into her life back home in Bangalore, where simplicity remains the cornerstone of daily life.
“Mere andar jo simplicity hai, woh sirf isliye hai kyunki woh abhi tak simple hai… Hum dono ke ghar wale bahut normal families se hai. They’ve never said ke hume Mercedes leni hai ya bada ghar chahiye.”
It’s this steady normalcy even in the face of fame that keeps Kriti grounded.
Despite both Kriti and her husband, actor Pulkit Samrat, being a part of the entertainment industry, their families continue to live modestly. Kriti family in Bangalore has extravagant staff, no household help, no showbiz lifestyle.
“Mummy tab bhi road cross karke sabziyaan lene jaati thi, aur aaj bhi road cross karke hi sabziyaan lene jaati hai,” she smiled.
And perhaps the most poignant line of all:
“Jab main ghar jaati hoon na, main Kitoo hi hoon.”
A simple statement, but one loaded with love, humility, and truth.
Kriti’s words beautifully underscore the fact that success doesn’t need to disconnect you from your roots in fact, it can deepen your appreciation for them.
She was recently seen in Rana Naidu 2, where she played a gritty, layered character. But off-screen, Kriti continues to live by values that are untouched by the glitz of showbiz.
