Here's taking a look at few lesser known facts about the actress:
4/7

Beauty with brains

It goes without saying that Kriti Sanon is the perfect example of beauty with brains. The actress who is blessed with the perfect features and figure has more to her than just her external appearance. Did you know that Kriti holds a B-Tech degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering? Having attended Delhi Public School, RK Puram, she completed engineering from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
5/7

Family

Kriti belongs to a well-educated Indian family. Her father, Rahul Sanon is Chartered Accountant by profession while her mother, Geeta Sanon is a professor at the University of Delhi. She has a younger sister name Nupur. Nupur is very close to Kriti and is often seen making appearances with the actress at various events and parties.

Film debut down south

Contrary to the public belief, 'Heropanti' was not Kriti's first film. She made her big screen debut with a Telugu psychological thriller titled 'Nenokkadine'. Her performance in the film was well-liked by critics and her chemistry with co-star Mahesh Babu was much appreciated. In four years, the actress has done two Telugu films and four Hindi films.
7/7

Trained classical Kathak dancer

Given her svelte figure and features, it's no surprise that the diva is a fitness freak. However, not many are aware that apart from other dance forms, Kriti is also a trained classical Kathak dancer. Her envious figure is however not confined to following dietary regimes. She loves her sweets and chocolates as well.
