With her flawless performance in the comedy-drama Mimi scheduled for release in 2021, Kriti Sanon astounded everyone. While both audiences and reviewers have always praised the actress for her solo lead performance, she received a major compliment this year when she won her first Best Actor (Female) award, and that too at IIFA.

Kriti's triumph with Mimi has continued to reverberate even now, almost a year after the film's premiere. In response to a question regarding Kriti's IIFA Best Actor (Female) triumph, Laxman Utekar, the director of Mimi said that he had previously promised Kriti and Sai Tamhankar that they would be walking away with awards for their fantastic performances when they were filming for Mimi. No actor, in his opinion, will ever surpass Kriti's performance from that year. Sincerely, he believes she deserves every accolade for her efforts and performance.

Kriti portrayed Mimi Rathore in the film Mimi a young woman who decides to become a surrogate mother for an international couple. With a movie she carried on her shoulders, the actor achieved enormous success that completely changed the course of her career. She demonstrated a wide range in her performance, playing everything from a young girl with enormous hopes to a wise mother. She had also gained 15 kg to play the character more convincingly.

Earlier, while talking about her weight gain, Kriti had told ANI that she had to gain 15 kg in just two months, and she couldn't start reducing weight until the movie was over. Since the actor wanted to reduce the weight before beginning any other project, it made more sense to put off starting any other project throughout the shoot and even for a few months after. During that time, she also gave up a lot of award show appearances since dancing helps her lose weight quickly.

With huge projects like Adipurush, Shehzada and others on her schedule, Kriti is having an extremely busy time in her career.
