Kriti Sanon shines at Red Sea Film Festival with Nina Dobrev, Dakota Johnson and Adrien Brody
Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon made a striking appearance at the 2025 Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she not only served as one of the event’s speakers but also spent time socializing with several major Hollywood personalities, including Dakota Johnson, Nina Dobrev, Uma Thurman and Adrien Brody.
Images from the festival have been circulating on social media, showing Kriti engaged in lively conversations with her international counterparts and posing for snapshots. The photos, shared widely on Reddit, drew praise from fans impressed by her presence at the high-profile event.
One Reddit post titled, “Kriti Sanon with Dakota Johnson and Uma Thurman at Women in Cinema Gala,” featured photos of her attending the gala held alongside the festival earlier in the week.
In a standout shot, the Mimi star dressed in a sleek black gown with a thigh-high slit, posed with Fifty Shades actor Dakota Johnson.
Another picture captured Kriti beaming beside American actress Uma Thurman, who matched her with a bright smile. A fan commented, “Is it just me or Uma and Kriti look kinda similar here? Very mother-daughter core IDK. Kriti was also once rumored to star in a Kill Bill adaptation directed by Anurag Kashyap. Wish it wasn't shelved.”
Others were fascinated by how tall Kriti appeared next to Dakota and Uma, both known for their height.
More photos showed Kriti alongside Nina Dobrev and Oscar winner Adrien Brody. A caption read, “Kriti Sanon with Adrian Brody and Nina Dobrev at the Women In Cinema Gala 2025.” In one of the images, Kriti and Brody were seen seated together at a table with drinks before them. Another showed her posing with Nina Dobrev, who stunned in a yellow gown. A fan remarked, “Man, Kriti is absolutely gorgeous and a head turner.”
During the festival, Kriti also participated in an interactive In Conversation session, where she reflected on her early years in Bollywood, working with Shah Rukh Khan in Dilwale, and her journey from engineering student to actor—something she described as an unexpected career path.
Kriti was last seen in Aanand L Rai’s Tere Ishk Mein, opposite Dhanush. The film has been a commercial success, crossing 100 Indian crores in global box office earnings.
