Kriti Sanon has portrayed a girl- next-door and a glamorous avatar in her three-year old film career but she believes it is sad when industry tends to typecast the actors.
	The 27-year-old star, who made her debut with "Heropanti", followed it up with "Dilwale" in 2015 and recently "Raabta", says she was "bracketed" right after her second outing.
	"It isn't so much about getting meaty roles as it is about getting typecast. When I had only done two films, 'Raabta' hadn't released, I had meetings with a few people from the industry for something where they said 'this is not the kind of film you like.'
