Mumbai: Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon expressed her thoughts on her profession. She considered acting to be a tricky profession as one has to "switch on and off" from the real-to-reel emotions every now and then.
The actor who is featured in the film 'Arjun Patiala', said that an actor may go through tough times in their lives but they have to be all set for their shot bearing in mind that their real emotions should not reflect in front of the camera.
"As actors, we can have tension and stress in our life too and when you work on a film like this (Arjun Patiala) you have to switch off from it completely and turn into a person who is having fun and is cracking jokes. It can get tricky. While filming for Luka Chuppi I was a little messed up in my personal life but I had to get my comic timing right. It is important to switch on and off as an actor,” Kriti said.
“You can’t translate your real emotions on screen as that will stay forever and you can let any part of your personal life mess that up. It is tricky to be in this profession because we have to put Kriti, the person aside and focus on Kriti, the actor. It is tougher,” she added.
Kriti also mentioned that she enjoys doing quirky films. “I like this space. That is one of the reasons I am getting attracted to this kind of scripts. I also like watching such films. And as an actor, I tend to do films that I like to watch.”
Showing special interest in comic roles, the actor kept forward her aim to entertain people and make them laugh. She stated, "Comedy is need of the hour in today’s lifestyle as there is a lot of stress in everybody’s life. I want to entertain people, make them laugh. It is a fun genre to be a part of."
Kriti will be seen next in 'Housefull 4'. She said working on the movie with stars like Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh helped her in improving comic timing.
She said, “When you observe experienced actors, you unknowingly pick up things. Like when I see Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, who is brilliant at comedy, you learn by seeing them. I am surrounded by people who have great comic timing. I am unknowingly learning a lot."
“Comedy is all about reacting but at the right time. Riteish told me that comedy has a rhythm and beat to it. And those who are good at dancing tend to understand comedy because they understand rhythm,” she added.
Kriti paired opposite Diljit Dosanjh who is playing the role of a quirky, small cop in 'Arjun Patiala'. She appreciated Diljit's acting skills.
“Here in Bollywood one has only seen an intense side of Diljit with this film people will get to see his impeccable comic timing. He is great at comedy. He has done this kind of films in Punjab but not here. It will be a surprise,” Kriti said.
The film is helmed by Rohit Jugraj and co-produced by Bhushan Kumar and Dinesh Vijan under T-Series and Maddock Films, the film is slated for release on July 26.
