After Missing Out on Madhubala’s Role, Kriti Sanon Reveals Which Legendary Actress’ Biopic She Wants to Do

New Delhi: At 35, Kriti Sanon has never shied away from taking challenging roles in her relatively short but impressive career. From playing a surrogate mother in Mimi to portraying a robot in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, the actress has consistently experimented with diverse characters.

Now, Kriti is gearing up for her upcoming film Cocktail 2, where she will be seen alongside Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.

However, amid all the excitement around her next release, Kriti Sanon has expressed her desire to portray one of Bollywood’s most iconic actresses in a biopic.

In an interview with GQ India, Kriti Sanon was asked if there was any actress whose biopic she would love to be a part of. Responding instantly, the actress said:

“Rekha… she is the most fascinating personality. I know I don’t look anything like her, but I absolutely adore her. Her guts, her heart, and her aura — everything about her is amazing. She is soft-hearted, intelligent, and lives life on her own terms.”

Kriti’s admiration for veteran actress Rekha has now sparked excitement among fans, with many already imagining her in such a powerful role.

Earlier Wanted to Play Madhubala

Before this, Kriti had expressed her wish in several interviews to portray legendary actress Madhubala on screen. There were even reports suggesting that the makers were considering her for the role.
