In conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, actress, Kriti Sanon revealed how she almost had a breakdown while promoting her film, Bhediya, along with Varun Dhawan. The actress shared that she had two or three other movies that came out the same year, and she had already done promotions for them before. She added that they were travelling back-to-back to different cities to promote the Varun Dhawan starrer, Bhediya when exhaustion hit her. Elaborating on the same, she was quoted as:

"Promotions can be very tiring. I almost had a breakdown when I was promoting Bhediya. That year, I had two or three other releases, so I had already done promotions two or three times before. While promoting Bhediya, we were traveling to different cities back-to-back. We even took a charter at night, jumping cities, sleeping at night, going to another city, doing interviews, and repeating the same things again and again. 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 [Dhawan] and I had memorized each other’s answers."

"On the last day of promotions, I was supposed to appear on a reality show. I was getting ready in my vanity van, and during some conversation, I started crying. I said, ‘I’m very tired; I can’t do this. I’m exhausted.’ Everyone around me froze. It affects your mental health."

However, the additional pressure of the entertainment industry often makes things hectic for actors. She admitted to having a rebellious coping mechanism and recalled how once she refused to go for a photoshoot and when her stylist told her if she didn't, she'd have to buy the dress. Kriti shared that she bought the dress, but she realised it made a dent in her pocket as it was an expensive piece. She stated:

"Sometimes, I become rebellious. Like, I’ll refuse to attend an award show. Once, I told my stylist I wouldn’t go for a photoshoot, and she said I’d have to buy the outfit if I didn’t go. So, I bought it. Bad mein jaake fatka laga mujhe."
