“It Was The Only Time When I Was On A Very Strict Diet…” Kriti Sanon Opens Up About Her Intense Prep For Cocktail 2
One of the top actresses of our country, Kriti Sanon is gearing up for yet another major release with the much-awaited Cocktail 2. After winning hearts with her recent film Tere Ishk Mein alongside Dhanush, Kriti has now opened up about her preparation for the sequel to the 2012 cult romantic drama. The upcoming film also stars Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, adding to the excitement around its fresh pairing and storyline.
Recently, Kriti spoke candidly about the physical preparation that went into the film. “Honestly, during Cocktail, it was the only time when I was on a very strict diet and a consistent workout routine. And for the first time, I followed a calorie deficit diet, which had never happened in my life. We were shooting in Italy, in Sicily… and when it comes to food there, it’s mostly pizza, pasta, pizza… all of that. And I was like… ah.”
Earlier, she had revealed the emotional reason behind choosing the film, sharing, “Tere Ishk Mein was so emotionally draining, it had completely emptied me emotionally. I felt I needed something light and fun, and that’s when Cocktail came my way.” The actress added that the tone of the film instantly connected with what she was looking for at this point in her career.
Highlighting the importance of balance, Kriti had also shared, “I thought, ‘This is it. This is the space I want to be in.’ It’s also nice to play characters that are poles apart, to not get too much of the load on you emotionally, because going back-to-back with deeply layered roles can take a toll on you.”
