Kriti Sanon not fazed by constant link-up rumours

She may not be from the film industry but Kriti Sanon says she has learnt to deal with rumours surrounding her personal life.

Kriti, who has been linked with her Raabta co-star Sushant Singh Rajput, says people forget that actors are also human beings.


"Link-up rumours don't bother me. It is part and parcel of the industry and I know it. I think people sort of forget that apart from being actors, we are human beings who have a normal life. We have our families and friends and go out with them. Whatever is happening my family knows about it.

"I have started laughing on things. I now enjoy the innovation of the stories which come everyday, it is like a daily soap," Kriti said.

The actress says whatever is written about her equation with her co-stars, it does not change the bond they share.

"It doesn't affect my personal equation with my co-stars. I don't think I will stop going on a drive or dinner with people I like."

Three films old Kriti says she has understood the pros and cons of being blunt and is now more cautious about her choice of words.

"As a celebrity you are judged. But now I am getting used to being judged all the time. When I came to the industry, I was blunt. Now, I have realised I probably can't do that.

"Every word a celebrity speaks can be misconstrued and judged.

"Subconsciously, I have become a little more cautious but I still can't be a fake," she says.

  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
