Sometimes failure teaches you more than success – Kriti Sanon
Kriti said, ‘There were periods in my career when I was very confused. I could not understand what was right and what was wrong. I signed some films which did not prove beneficial for me. At that time it seemed like nothing was working. Today, when I look back, I feel that those difficult days taught me a lot. Sometimes failure teaches you more than success.
Patriarchy still exists in the industry
During the interview, Kriti Sanon also talked about the difference between men and women in the film industry.

In the initial days of my career, I was not able to say everything openly, but with time I learned to raise my voice for myself.
Kriti further said, ‘Many times when the budget of a film is reduced, the fees of the female lead are cut first. Apart from this, the difference between male and female artists is clearly visible in the respect and facilities received on the set. Patriarchy still exists in the industry. Many times it is not visible openly, but is visible in small behavior and decisions.
