Kriti Sanon, who lives away from her home which is in Delhi, is a bundle of nerves ahead of the release of "Dilwale". But she's glad that her parents are taking a break from work to be with her.
The young actress, who made her debut with "Heropanti", is undergoing a series of emotions as "Dilwale" is releasing on Friday. To lend emotional support, Kriti's parents have decided to fly down to Mumbai to be besides her on the big day.
While her father works as a chartered accountant, Kriti's mother is a professor, and they have both taken leave. Her sister too has her exams around the corner and is balancing her studies to be with Kriti.
"I am nervous and excited at the same time with the release nearing, having my parents with me on the big day makes it even more special," Kriti said in a statement.
She is looking forward to the response to "Dilwale", which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Varun Dhawan.
