Kriti Sanon: ‘I’m Not A Plastic Doll’

Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon discusses how she has been criticised for her appearance, with people pointing out her ‘gummy smile’ and ‘waist size’. Sanon said that she never felt the need to change anything, adding that she is not a plastic doll.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Kriti said, “There had been times when I was told to line my lips to (make it) look fuller. It didn’t make sense to me. I did try it once (she laughs). I was also told that my nostrils flare up a little bit when I smile. So, yes there will be criticism from everywhere. When I smile or laugh, sometimes they do but that’s normal na. I am not a plastic doll." She added that she "just never felt the need to change anything."

“People told me ‘You have gummy smile’. That I am born with, I can’t do anything about it. These are little little things that people don’t say it directly ki ‘yeh change karo (change this)’. I feel like those things everyone hears. Someone was telling me now it’s not the pressure, but I think the pressure is increasing with all these Instagram filters and everything coming, everyone wants to be perfect all the time. So, I have gone through that, heard things. Someone asked me to make my waist a little more in. Sometimes random people also say things. You have to make sure that you are not listening to just everybody."

Sanon was last seen in the movies ‘Hum Do Humare Do’ and ‘Mimi’. In 2022 she will be seen in various movies. The actress will be seen in ‘Bachchan Pandey’ opposite actor Akshay Kumar. She will also be seen opposite actor Prabhas in ‘Adipurush’. She is paired opposite ‘Dhamaka’ actor Kartik Aaryan in ‘Shehzada’. The ‘Heropanti’ actress will also be seen in ‘Bhediya’ starring actor Varun Dhawan.
