Weekend Comment by RK on Current Politics – 20th Feb 2016

Some Bollywood heroines seem to develop a bold attitude once they establish themselves in the industry, often speaking their minds without filtering their remarks. In the past, actresses like Radhika Apte and Taapsee faced backlash for controversial comments about Tollywood. Now, Kriti Sanon appears to be in the spotlight for similar reasons.

Kriti recently commented that, except for Prabhas and Arjun Kapoor, most of the heroes she has worked with are shorter than her. This remark has sparked anger among Mahesh Babu’s fans. Mahesh Babu, in fact, is taller than Kriti and also gave her her first significant break in Tollywood—something many feel she overlooked in her statement.

Following her debut with Mahesh Babu, Kriti acted in one more Telugu film before focusing entirely on Bollywood, where she has delivered several hits and established herself as a top actress. Her latest release has also garnered positive reviews.

In a recent interview, Kriti spoke about her height, revealing that some co-stars used hidden heels during shoots while she often opted for flat footwear. She mentioned that only when working with Prabhas and Arjun Kapoor did she never have to worry about height differences.
