2024 has been Kriti Sanon's year

2024 truly belongs to Kriti Sanon, as she continues to shine with a hat-trick of stellar performances. From playing the enigmatic Robot Sifra in 'Tere Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' to her heartfelt portrayal of an air hostess in 'Crew', and delivering a riveting double role in 'Do Patti', Kriti has proven her mettle time and again. 'Do Patti', her maiden production venture, also marked her impressive debut as a producer.

Kriti Sanon has not announced her next venture yet but is expected to collaborate with her 'Hum Do Humare Do' co-star Rajkummar Rao in an untitled next. On the other hand, Madhuri Dixit was last seen in Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The film is still running in theatres.
