After a change in the perception of the audience.
“It takes a role like Mimi to bring out the talent,” she says. If you give me a small bowl to fill with water, I will be able to contribute as much. If you give me something bigger than this, I will be able to contribute more. So if you give me a role without any role, a scene which is generic, how much will I be able to contribute to it. Mimi as a character had limits.
She continued, “Mimi is an innocent girl who talks to posters, and wants to be an actress, she is one of the best dancers in her city, and she wants to go to Mumbai. But he does not have enough money to reach there. She later agrees to surrogacy which leads her on a journey that changes her whole life. These are some of the scenes where we can get deep into the character and do different things with it. This is what every actor wants. You always need a platform to shine. Mimi was the platform in my life where people saw me and realized that I can do a lot. One problem with these roles is that you want each role to be one where you can experiment a lot with the characters.
With a vast filmography, Kriti Sanon has cemented her place in the top league of actresses, and Mimi has been called the best performance of her lifetime. The character of a fun, bubbly ‘Mimi’ was perfect for Kriti to showcase her immense talent and range as an actor.
