Krithi Shetty breaks down while addressing hate

Krithi Shetty debuted on-screen with the 2021 film Uppena when she was 18.

Krithi spoke on the podcast while shedding tears, sharing how she’s quite sensitive and has had times when she felt like she was losing herself. “You’re scrutinised so much, there’s so much for you to deal with. There’s so much criticism and hate for things that are beyond your control. It’s very unfair. Even still, there are points where you face so much rejection. I do tend to lose myself a little there, even though I’m typically a very optimistic person,” she said.

The actor mentioned that it was her mother and friends who had helped her get over tough times. “When I have those episodes of feeling really low, I know it’s only my mom who has pulled me out of it. She always made me feel like I’m so much beyond what I do. I really need that reassurance sometimes. Everything happened so fast that I didn’t get the space for self-assurance and love. I didn’t expect to need to be ready for all that. If someone in real life commented, I wouldn’t care. But I don’t have the answer to those online,” explained Krithi while wiping tears.
