Kriti Sanon (born 27 July 1990) is an Indian actress who works in Hindi and Telugu-language films. She has received a National Film Award and two Filmfare Awards, and has appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list of 2019.
After pursuing a degree in engineering from the Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Sanon briefly worked as a fashion model. She began her acting career by playing the leading lady in the 2014 action films 1: Nenokkadine and Heropanti. The latter earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Her career progressed with starring roles in the commercially successful romantic comedies Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) and Luka Chuppi (2019), and her highest-grossing releases came with the ensemble comedies Dilwale (2015) and Housefull 4 (2019).
Sanon won the National Film Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for playing the title role of a surrogate mother in the comedy-drama Mimi (2021). This success was followed by a series of commercially unsuccessful films, such as the controversial big-budget film Adipurush (2023), though the comedy horror Bhediya (2022) was well-received. Sanon has since had commercial successes in the 2024 comedies Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Crew.
In addition to acting, Sanon has launched her clothing line Ms. Taken, fitness company The Tribe, skin-care brand Hyphen, as well as her production company Blue Butterfly Films.
