Kriti Sanon says her 'Cocktail 2' character's fashion reflects blend of beautiful chaos, her unhinged self
Mumbai, June 16
Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film, has shared insights into her character of Ally in 'Cocktail 2'. The actress has shared that her character's fashion reflects the blend of beautiful chaos and her unhinged self.
On Tuesday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures of her looks from 'Cocktail 2'. The pictures feature her in beachwear, and wedding wear among other looks.
The actress also penned a long note in the caption, as she expressed her gratitude to the people, who have worked hard to put together her character's appearance in the film.
She wrote, "With all the love flowing in for Ally's looks, let's give credit where it's due! The woman behind these stunning looks- @anaitashroffadajania. Ally taught me that hot and beautiful aren't an either/or! They are a collab. Ally is probably the most liberated, free spirited, no judgement kinda character I've played.. She is unhinged and beautifully chaotic, and that fully reflects in her fashion as well! That's the beauty of Anaita- her styling is more of a character's personality extension than just fashionable looks put together. Thank you for building the essence of Ally along with me & for giving the audiences a never-seen-before version of me. Special thanks to my @sukritigrover, our associate costume stylist. You are by far one of the most hardworking and talented people I've come across! Both Ally & her journey wouldn't have been the same without you Suks".
The actress further mentioned that she drew a lot from the personality of her director Homi Adajania
She went on, "Love you, And of course my incredible hmu duo! @aasifahmedofficial @adrianjacobsofficial When you've done so many films, characters and looks together, it can get hard to reinvent and do something different.. but Ally's beachy hair have their own fandom now and the bronzed sunkissed look is everything sexy".
"It's all you guys.. the Best Team ever. And the captain of our ship, the mastermind - @homster !! Homzz, thank you for making Ally so cool & effortless.. (you know that i drew a lot of her from your personality) most importantly, thank you for trusting me & making Ally one of the most special characters I've played and @santha_dop No one could have captured her the way you did- every frame is so damn beautiful & yet so real. I just stood there feeling sexy, beautiful, grateful and so Ally", she added.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, doesn't this sound a bit too much like just another PR piece? The "never seen before version of me" line is Bollywood's favorite copy-paste quote. Let's see if the film actually delivers something new or if it's just the usual glamour game.
The way Kriti gives credit to her entire team - stylist, makeup artists, director - that's pure class. In an industry where star tantrums are common, seeing an actress acknowledge everyone's contribution is heartwarming. Ally's beachy hair and sunkissed look indeed create a distinct vibe.
I love how Indian cinema is now exploring characters who are "free-spirited and unhinged" without being caricatures. Kriti Sanon has grown so much as an actress since her debut. This cocktail franchise seems to be giving her space to experiment with bold, modern roles that Indian audiences are increasingly appreciating.
The first Cocktail was iconic with Deepika and Saif. Kriti has big shoes to fill. But from what she's describing, Ally sounds like a completely different character arc. Let's hope the film balances style with substance. Fashion alone doesn't make a film special - the story matters.
It's interesting how Bollywood actresses are now taking ownership of character development through fashion. The way Kriti describes "hot and beautiful aren't an either/or" - that's a powerful message for young women everywhere, especially in conservative societies. This kind of nuanced storytelling through costume design is commendable.
