Some Unknown Facts
- She was born in Delhi but brought up in Bangalore since her family moved to Bangalore from Delhi when she was just four-years-old.
- In her childhood days, she appeared in a number of television commercials, and in her college days, she did commercials for Bhima Jewellers, Spar, and Fair & Lovely.
- She was happy doing commercials but it was her grandmother who encouraged her to become a film actress.
- Her photo on the Spar billboard proved to be lucky for her career as she gets noticed by the film director Raj Pippala, who gave her a lead role in Boni.
- While attending college, she was awarded the “Young Student Entrepreneur Award” by Canara Bank.
- In 2013, Bangalore Times nominated Kriti the Most Desirable Women of Bangalore and she was also named one of the Hottest Women in India. [1]Dailyhunt
- Since she has a hobby of collecting shoes, she has more than 100 pairs of shoes in her wardrobe.

Controversies
- When Hina Khan, a television sensation, made a comment, pointing to Kriti, that south Indian filmmakers only cast chubby actresses. Kriti got upset with this statement and in response, she said to the media – “I had great respect for Hina Khan before that. She is a very big name on television. That is not how you talk about people. You can look at me, I have been an actress down south (and I am not bulgy). I am very angry. That’s not how you talk about an industry.”
- When she was offered a film Chehre (not yet released) opposite Amitabh Bachchan, she denied the offer as she had to do some intimate scene. But a few months earlier she said in an interview that “no one has the right to judge if she appeared in an intimate scene on the screen.”
