A Role That Changed Everything
Two years ago, Kriti Sanon stepped into new territory with Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. The film proved to be a major turning point in her career. As Sifra, she delivered a performance that felt fresh, layered, and emotionally engaging.
Moreover, her effortless chemistry with Shahid Kapoor, her infectious laughter, and her elegant presence in the hit song “Dhak Dhak” made the character instantly memorable. As a result, the role further strengthened Kriti’s image as an actor who never shies away from taking creative risks.
When a Character Becomes an Identity
Beyond the big screen, the love for Sifra only continued to grow. Kriti herself has spoken about how deeply audiences connected with the character.
“I have personally felt the love for Sifra,” she shared. “Wherever I go—whether in India or even in London—people come up to me asking for pictures with Sifra.”
Most notably, a moment at the airport stayed with her. An immigration officer greeted her by calling her Sifra.
“That’s a huge win for any actor,” Kriti said. “When people recognize you as the character, sometimes more than as you, it means you’ve truly touched a chord.”
A Theatre Filled With Laughter and Love
Additionally, the impact of Sifra was beautifully captured in a viral video Kriti once shared from a movie theatre. The clip showed audiences laughing uncontrollably at Sifra’s antics.
The moment reflected the sheer joy the character brought to viewers. Reacting to it, Kriti wrote,
“Glad to have gotten a role like SIFRA that could make people laugh while they fell in love with her too!”
A Landmark Song and a Defining Moment
Meanwhile, the film’s climax featuring the “Dhak Dhak” song became a standout moment. Kriti’s performance lit up the screen and quickly turned into a fan favourite. Even today, it remains one of the most celebrated sequences from the film.
A String of Hits and Rising Momentum
Furthermore, 2024 emerged as a landmark year for Kriti Sanon. She delivered three successful films — Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, The Crew, and Do Patti. Each project showcased a different shade of her talent.
Following this momentum, 2025 reaffirmed her stature with Tere Ishk Mein, a film that created strong buzz across the industry.
Fearless Choices and a Lasting Legacy
Ultimately, Kriti Sanon continues to redefine versatility with every role she chooses. The enduring love for Sifra proves her ability to create characters that stay with audiences long after the credits roll.
