(While shooting, it only felt like—just work hard, keep working hard.) The whole year I remember I was shooting MRS. I shot four films that year. I was shooting Jawan; in the middle I shot Kathal, then again we went back to Jawan. Then in between, I shot MRS. And amidst all this, we were also shooting Sam Bahadur. Then I had to return to Jawan again. Most of the time I was spending time at the airport. My entire team and I remember hum bags leke ek airport se dusare airport jaa rahe the. (My team and I were constantly carrying bags, moving from one airport to another.) Aur uss time pe mere dimaag pe aaya bhi nai ki inn sab ka reward national award hoga. (And at that time, it never even crossed my mind that all this would be rewarded with a National Award.) And it feels very special. Maine hamesha se socha hai hard work karo. Karam karo aur faal ki ich ana karo. (I have always believed—just work hard, do your karma, and don't desire the fruits.) I never thought kabhi hoga mere sath. (I never thought something like this would ever happen with me.) Main sar jhuka ke 10 saal se kaam kar rahe hu. (I have been working with my head down for 10 years now.)

Kriti Sanon applauds Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi, praises Sanjay Leela Bhansali for backing a female-led film
Sanjay Leela Bhansali stands tall as one of the finest filmmakers in Indian cinema, often mentioned in the same league as legends like Raj Kapoor, K. Asif, and Guru Dutt. Through his films, he has set new benchmarks in presenting Indian stories with unmatched authenticity and grandeur. A true force in the world of entertainment, SLB has not only redefined Indian storytelling but has also taken Indian cinema to the global stage. One such creation was highly acclaimed and loved Gangubai Kathiawadi, which won 5 National Awards. While the film received tremendous love from all quarters, this time, National Award-winning actress Kriti Sanon has also praised the film and SLB for making a female-led story in the way it deserved to be told. Actress Kriti Sanon was seen praising Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi as she said, 'Take a risk on the subject, not on who's leading it. If a female-led film… the only one that comes to my mind, honestly, that has been at that scale, at that budget, was Gangubai Kathiawadi. You felt like it was larger than life. It would have been the same-looking film even if a man were leading it.' 'And I felt like the budget, the shots, everything was taken in a larger-than-life way. When someone makes an entry, we call it a 'hero shot' — where you make someone look larger than life. That doesn't normally happen when a female is leading a film like that. So I was very, very happy seeing that. At least someone had the guts to put in that much money on a female-led film.' Moreover, The anticipation builds for SLB's next LOVE & WAR. It's thrilling to look forward to the monumental collaboration of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the talented trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal on the big screen in the film. The film will be released on March 20, 2026. Add as a Preferred Source
