Kriti Sanon, the Bollywood actress, has always kept her personal life closely guarded. However, in early March 2020, she offered fans a peek into a new chapter of her life by revealing her first-ever tattoo. The actress, known for films like "Mimi" and "Heropanti", shared a glimpse of the ink on her social media, sparking curiosity and excitement among her followers.

The tattoo, seemingly placed on her upper back or shoulder, features a delicate design of a bird in flight. While the complete design was initially partially concealed in the photo she shared, fans speculated about its meaning and significance. Kriti captioned the photo "The start of something new," further fueling the mystery surrounding her new ink.

Many initially believed the tattoo was the letter "K," the first letter of her name. The placement and angle of the photograph made it appear as though it could be a stylized "K". However, as clearer images emerged, it became evident that the design was indeed a bird in flight.

The choice of a bird in flight as a tattoo carries rich symbolism. Birds often represent freedom, liberation, and the ability to overcome obstacles. They can also symbolize hope, dreams, and aspirations. The act of flying signifies moving forward, rising above challenges, and embracing new beginnings.

Given Kriti's caption and the symbolism associated with birds, it's likely that her tattoo represents a personal milestone or a new phase in her life. In 2020, Kriti was actively working on the film "Mimi", a project that saw her take on the challenging role of a surrogate mother. The film required her to gain a significant amount of weight, a physical transformation that demonstrated her dedication to the role. "Mimi" proved to be a turning point in Kriti's career, earning her critical acclaim and a National Film Award for Best Actress.

The bird in flight tattoo could therefore symbolize Kriti's embrace of new challenges and her soaring career. It could represent her personal growth, her willingness to experiment with diverse roles, and her aspirations for the future.

Prior to getting inked, one of Kriti’s fans demonstrated their admiration for her by getting her name tattooed on their forearm. Overwhelmed by the gesture, Kriti thanked the fan on social media, acknowledging the selfless love she receives, which inspires her to work harder.
