Kriti Sanon has carved a remarkable journey in Bollywood, but one role remains forever etched in audiences’ hearts—Bitti Mishra from Bareilly Ki Barfi. A free-spirited, fearless, and refreshingly real small-town girl, Bitti redefined the Bollywood heroine, making Kriti a household name. Whether it was her rebellious streak, her love for breakdancing, or her heartwarming relationship with her father, Kriti made Bitti unforgettable. At a time when mainstream films rarely celebrated strong yet relatable female leads, Bareilly Ki Barfi stood out. Kriti brought Bitti to life with effortless charm, capturing the nuances of a girl who dared to live on her terms.
The film won hearts, but what made it even more special was the appreciation Kriti received from none other than Amitabh Bachchan. The legendary actor surprised everyone by sending Kriti a bouquet along with a heartfelt handwritten note, praising her performance. This gesture from Big B left Kriti overwhelmed, marking a milestone moment in her journey.
Sharing her joy, Kriti took to Twitter and wrote:
“This feels like a milestone in itself!!💃🏻 You’ve been such an inspiration.. Thank you so so much Sir!! This really made my day!🙏🏻☺️ @SrBachchan”

As Bareilly Ki Barfi gears up for a grand re-release on February 7, fans get a chance to relive the magic of this heartwarming story on the big screen once again. The film not only set new benchmarks for small-town storytelling but also proved to be a turning point in Kriti’s career, solidifying her as a performer to watch out for. With three standout performances in 2024—Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, The Crew, and Do Patti—and her much-anticipated 2025 release Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti continues to prove she’s one of Bollywood’s leading actresses, constantly taking risks and breaking new ground.
