New Delhi: Actress Kriti Sanon, who is busy promoting her film Bareilly Ki Barfi, co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao, said that she like to 'explore new things as an actor,' reported news agency IANS. In the film, the 27-year-old actress will feature as Bitti, a young contemporary girl from Uttar Pradesh. In a statement, Kriti Sanon said, "For me, it's the script. It's the character that excites me. And that's how I choose my films. I always want to explore new things as an actor," reported IANS. "I am playing a small town girl for the first time. I am playing a girl from Uttar Pradesh for the first time. I am picking up a dialect for the first time. A de-glam role for the first time," she added.
