She continued, “However, this time, I felt compelled to step out and take the call. That’s when I received the incredible news. I found myself frozen for a few precious seconds. Without hesitation, I told my manager to pause the meeting. I immediately rushed to my parents to share this remarkable news. There were hugs, tears, and a flood of emotions.”
With a touch of humor, Kriti Sanon shared, “In my household, impromptu celebrations are synonymous with ordering pizza. Whether it’s New Year’s Eve or a random occasion, we enjoy indulging in pizza. So, upon learning of my win, my mother suggested, ‘Let’s order some pizzas’.”
She added, “I celebrated this moment wearing my pajamas, savoring pizza, with my parents by my side.”
Kriti Sanon expressed her gratitude towards her fans and the Almighty for the immense support she received. She said, “I am immensely grateful to both my fans and the Almighty. My prayers have been answered.”
‘Mimi’, based on a true story, revolves around the life of the titular character who becomes a surrogate for an American couple in exchange for Rs 2 million. The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Sai Tamhankar in prominent roles.
This win marks a significant milestone in Kriti Sanon’s career, and her remarkable celebration with her family adds a personal touch to the joyous occasion.-
