Let’s be honest, we Indians love a love story that tugs at our heartstrings—the kind where the music stays with you for days and the acting feels real. Well, it looks like Bollywood is ready to serve exactly that on a silver platter!
If you have seen the trailer for Tere Ishk Mein, you know exactly what the buzz is about. The trailer dropped, and within minutes, it was everywhere WhatsApp groups, Instagram reels, and office chai breaks. With over 90 million views already, it’s clear: the magic of Aanand L Rai (remember Raanjhanaa?) combined with the soul-stirring music of A.R. Rahman has done the trick.
But behind the glamour and the beautiful visuals, leading lady Kriti Sanon reveals that playing her character, 'Mukti', was one of the toughest challenges of her career.
The Challenge of Silence: Acting With Eyes
We usually think acting is about heavy dialogues and dramatic speeches, right? But for Kriti, playing Mukti was different. She explains that Mukti goes through a massive transformation—a "diverse graph"—from who she starts as to who she becomes. Here is the tricky part: A lot of Mukti's pain and reasons aren't spoken out loud. Kriti said, "There is no dialogue at times to help you... it just has to be translated in your eyes." Imagine trying to explain your toughest day to a friend without speaking a single word—just using your expression. That is the level of difficulty Kriti faced here!
The 6-Day Climax that Drained Everything
Every movie has that one scene—the climax—where everything explodes emotionally. For Tere Ishk Mein, this climax was a marathon. Kriti opened up about shooting the pre-climax and climax scenes, revealing they took 5 to 6 days to film.
She described it as "physically and emotionally draining." It wasn't just acting; she felt the low energy sinking into her bones, her team, and everyone on set.
"At times when I went back home it stayed with me, I felt extremely drained... it pulled me down the most." – Kriti Sanon
It’s like when you study for a massive exam for a week straight, and even after it’s over, you feel that heavy exhaustion. That’s the emotional weight she carried to bring Mukti to life.
The Dream Team: Why You Should Be Excited
Apart from Kriti’s intense performance, here is why this movie is on everyone’s watchlist:
