Kriti acknowledged that it has been difficult, particularly as an outsider in the profession, when questioned if seeking validation compromises one's peace of mind. “No, I’m not going against what I want to do anymore. I’ll tell you that,” she affirmed.

According to Kriti, part of her path has been experimenting with various parts; at times, she has decided on movies based more on their potential for box office success than on her own satisfaction. “I’ve gone for it, and I’ve done it. And A, most of the times it didn’t end up working. So I’m like, it’s not even the result that’s happened. And then I didn’t feel that excitement when I was on set,” she candidly shared.

This phase of her career taught Kriti valuable lessons about her true passions and the importance of choosing projects that align with her belief. “To be at peace where I don’t feel the need to do certain things, to be at a certain place, and choose that I want to do things that I really want to do. That is peace,” she reflected. Kriti emphasised that, despite her restlessness, she now feels a deeper sense of peace by making choices based on what truly excites her, rather than external validation.

When asked if that’s a by-product of financial security, she said, “It’s not financial. I would definitely say I’m privileged. I’ve come from a middle-class family but it’s not like I’ve ever felt the need to work because I had to earn money. That wasn’t there. My parents were working and I never felt the need. My parents never made me feel that I don’t have money.”

“Anybody who says middle-class on camera gets trolled,” Nikhil quipped. To which, Kriti said, “But I’ve genuinely been… upper middle-class, whatever, but I’ve not been someone who’s been like extremely rich and wealthy and all of that but I’ve also not been someone who felt that I need to do this for money.”

Even though she's successful, she doesn't lose her groundedness; she keeps a joint account with her father and doesn't completely distance herself from her financial resources.

“I have a joint account with my father. I have no idea how much money is coming in, going out. Now I’ve started being a little more like, ‘okay, tell me how much’ if I want to buy a house. Then I’m suddenly like, oh, this much? I think that is the reason why I never really… Maybe it’s not been in my nature,” Kriti concluded.
