While Tere Ishk Mein demanded emotional intensity, Cocktail 2 offered a lighter and more carefree experience, giving Kriti the opportunity to shift gears soon after completing a demanding role.

Speaking about the difference between the two films, Kriti said, "I enjoy both as they challenge me differently. Tere Ishk Mein was emotionally intense and required a lot from me as an actor. I felt drained when I wrapped that film and didn't have it in me to do another intense one immediately."

The actor added that Cocktail 2 arrived at the right time, allowing her to embrace a different energy.

"Cocktail 2 felt refreshing because it allowed me to explore a lighter, happier and quirkier energy. I don't think one is better than the other. I like that I can move between different worlds," she shared.

Kriti's comments highlight the contrasting nature of the two films. While Tere Ishk Mein required her to portray a more emotionally layered character, Cocktail 2 gave her the chance to step into a lighter romantic space with a different tone.
