Kriti Kharbanda on Her Lowest-Paid Role in Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana: "It Was Never About the Money, It Was About the Magic"

Kriti Kharbanda has always let her work speak for itself, be it through emotionally rooted characters or her unwavering commitment to storytelling. While she continues to impress with her recent performance in Rana Naidu Season 2, it’s a film from earlier in her journey that holds the deepest place in her heart. In a candid moment, Kriti opened up about why Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana remains her most cherished project—not for fame or fortune, but for the sheer spirit of teamwork and passion that defined it

In a heartfelt conversation, Kriti spoke about the magic of teamwork and said, “I like to work with people who believe in teamwork. I felt that for the first time while shooting for Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana. Everyone keeps asking me why that’s my favourite film—my favourite working experience—and it’s because I worked the hardest, and I was paid the lowest. In my entire career, that’s the lowest I’ve ever been paid.”

The actress continued the same and said,” But I didn’t even argue about the money, because this was the film I truly wanted to do. When I went for the audition of Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, I performed just one scene, and that one scene spoke to me. Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana was the magic of teamwork, and every single person deserves full credit for it. I’m still waiting to feel that same energy again on set.”

Kriti’s words are a reminder that passion often outweighs paychecks and that true artistry lies in the joy of collaboration. Her candid reflection not only sheds light on her dedication but also highlights the emotional and creative fulfilment that comes from being part of a team that truly believes in the story they're telling.
