Kriti elaborated on the rigorous schedule involving extensive travel, moving between cities, limited sleep, conducting interviews, and the repetitive nature of the discussions. She expressed a desire for a more efficient method of answering questions, stating, "I wished I could have my answers on a tape recorder. Like, dial 1 for this question and 2 for another. By the end of it, both Varun and I had memorized each other’s answers."

Why did Kriti Sanon break down during Bhediya promotions?

In reflecting on her moment of emotional breakdown, the actress from Mimi shared, "On the final day of promotions, I was scheduled to appear on a reality show. While preparing in my vanity van, I began to cry during a conversation. I expressed, ‘I’m very tired; I can’t do this. I’m exhausted.’ Everyone around me was taken aback. It has an impact on one’s mental health."

She further elaborated that she has a deep passion for her profession (acting) and does not typically feel overwhelmed; however, the added pressures of the film industry can often create a chaotic environment for actors. Kriti also admitted that stress occasionally drives her to behave rebelliously as a means of coping.
