Glad people are taking me seriously as an actor: Kriti Sanon

She made her foray into Bollywood with a cliche love story "Heropanti" and went on to feature in multi-starrer "Dilwale", but Kriti Sanon's acting skills came to notice with her performance as Bitti in "Bareilly Ki Barfi".

The actor, who last release "Luka Chuppi" was also well-received by the audience, says after completing five years in the movie business she is happy that people are finally taking her seriously as a performer.

"Both 'Bareilly Ki Barfi' and 'Luka Chuppi' were instinctive choices, today I do feel all the more confident to go with my gut feeling with a script. I am glad people are taking me seriously as an actor. And it is because of the work I have done.

"It is important to grow with every film otherwise you become stagnant. And my motive is to grow with every film," Kriti told PTI in an interview.

The 28-year-old actor adds that it is just the beginning for her but she is well-aware of the struggles ahead.

"I am an ambitious person. I am very hungry as an actor. I want to do better. I have the fire in me to do a lot more, provided I get the opportunities. I am not a person, who would get satisfied easily with where I am. Everybody has their journey and it is difficult to sustain but it is also very difficult to climb."
"It is eventually the choices and decisions that you make and then it is a matter of that one film that would take you up there and you never know which would be that one film."
"And I have now sort of cautiously increased my pace a little bit. I have four releases this year and it is going to be tough for me to maintain it. I would like to do two-three films a year."
