‘Mimi’ tells the story of a young woman who agrees to become a surrogate mother for a foreign couple, hoping to use the money to fulfil her dream of becoming an actor. However, the biological parents back out when they learn that the baby will be born with Down syndrome. Mimi then decides to raise the child on her own and faces several challenges and societal pressures as a single mother.
Her journey as a mother and her struggles to provide for her child despite the odds made for a heartwarming and inspiring story, which resonated with the audience.
In the coming months, Kriti will be seen in the action-thriller ‘Ganapath: A Hero is Born’ opposite Tiger Shroff. She also has ‘The Crew’ and ‘Do Patti’ in her kitty. (ANI)
