'Mimi' has etched its place as an iconic film in Indian cinema, especially made memorable due to the lead star, Kriti Sanon, and her impeccable performance as the titular character. She left no stone unturned in her prep for the film as the actress gained 15 kgs to play a surrogate mother and to portray it with complete honesty, even though she faced quite the challenge when she had to lose all the weight while moving on to her next projects. She also worked intricately on her dialect and truly lost herself in the character of 'Mimi', and is clearly winning all the sweet fruits for her over-the-top efforts.
Kriti shared the Best Actress award with Alia Bhatt who won for 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. Today, this win for the actresses is even bigger, considering both of them solely led their respective films and showed the power that women in cinema have today.
On the work front, Kriti will next be seen in 'Ganapath part 1', a robotic love story with Shahid Kapoor, 'The Crew' with Kareena Kapoor Khan along with her maiden production venture, 'Do Patti' which also stars her in the lead along with Kajol.
