Kriti Kharbanda is a popular name in the South Indian film industry. After making her debut in the Telugu and the Kannada film industries in 2009 and 2010, respectively, the actor ventured into Hindi cinema in 2016 with Raaz: Reboot. As she turns 33 years old on Sunday (October 29), we revisit some of the films she has been part of in Bollywood.
'Housefull 4' (2019)
Farhad Samji's 2019 film Housefull 4 featured an ensemble cast comprising Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Bobby Deol, Ritesh Deshmukh, Pooja Hegde, and Kharbanda. Half the fantasy comedy was initially directed by Sajid Khan. However, due to the #MeToo sexual harassment allegations against him, he was replaced by Samji, who shot the rest. Kharbanda essayed the roles of Rajkumari Meena and Neha Thakral in it.

Kharbanda, who is currently in a relationship with Fukrey actor Pulkit Samrat, was cast opposite him in Veerey Ki Wedding. Directed by filmmaker Anshu Trikha, the romantic comedy-drama also featured Jimmy Sheirgill in the lead.

This comedy family drama helmed by Ashwni Dhir starred Kartik Aaryan, Paresh Rawal, Tanvi Azmi, and Kharbanda.
