Kriti Sanon, who was last seen in Aanand L. Rai’s Tere Ishk Mein, has found herself back in the spotlight—this time not for a new release, but for a video from the very beginning of her career. An old audition clip of the actress, shot when she was just 22, has resurfaced on social media and is drawing fresh attention from fans and netizens alike.

Kriti Sanon’s First Audition Video Goes Viral

In the resurfaced audition tape, a young Kriti Sanon introduces herself confidently, dressed in a white off-shoulder dress with frilled detailing. The clip captures her performing a rescue sequence, where she is seen enacting a dramatic drowning scene with sincerity and focus.

At the start of the video, Kriti can be heard saying, “Hi, I am Kriti Sanon. I am 5’9″ and these are my profiles.” When asked about her availability for the project’s dates, she responds affirmatively. The audition also includes a brief moment where she mentions her discomfort with wearing a two-piece outfit, following which she proceeds to perform a cliff rescue sequence—highlighting her willingness to attempt physically demanding scenes even at a very early stage.

Netizens React: Praise, Comparisons, And Debate

As soon as the video began circulating again, social media users were quick to react. Many praised Kriti’s effort and confidence, especially in contrast to today’s star kids.

One user commented, “These star kids nowadays don’t even go through the hurdles of auditions.” Another wrote, “Nepo kids be like: What’s an audition? Humein toh sirf Audi car pata hai.” A third user added, “She did her best. Hats off to her.”

The clip has reignited conversations around auditions, struggle, and how outsiders make their way into the industry.

Kriti Sanon’s Recent And Upcoming Projects

On the work front, Kriti Sanon was most recently seen in Tere Ishk Mein, co-starring Dhanush. The film, which released in theatres on November 28, 2025, failed to make a significant impact at the box office.

Looking ahead, Kriti has a packed slate. She is set to star in Cocktail 2, directed by Homi Adajania, alongside Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Reports also suggest that Amitabh Bachchan may be part of the project, which is expected to release in the second half of 2026.

In addition, the actress has Don 3 lined up and will also reprise her role in the sequel to Bhediya, further cementing her place among Bollywood’s leading stars.
