In the “Dochay” film, Kriti plays a tomboy, for which, she went through a makeover of sorts. “My styling is quite different; my look is casual with baggy tops and ripped, rugged boyfriend jeans. Perhaps, this is the first time that something like this has been done in Telugu. I play Meera, a medical student, who isn’t interested in studies. She is a complete tomboy and the type of girl, who loves bunking classes, climbs over walls, and watches two to three films a week. And she’s addicted to messaging and chatting. She’s also very confident and blunt with her opinions. It was a fun role to play,” Kriti grins, adding, “I do have a tomboyish side in my real life too, and that’s evident in my body language sometimes. And oh, I can whistle like boys (laughs).”
It’s been an incredible year so far for the actress, who bagged her first Filmfare award for best newcomer and she’s playing one of the lead roles in Rohit Shetty’s latest film Dilwale, which also has Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Varun Dhawan. So how does it feel to bag all these big projects? “To be honest, I still feel like a newcomer. I don’t want to think too much about my career and my focus is on learning from everyone around me.”
