For her next film 'Raabta', Kriti Sanon took special time out to stay in Budapest, to prepare for her character. As per sources, Kriti's character 'Raabta' is someone who needs to be familiar with Budapest. Since she is naturally not familiar with the place as it was her first time living there, she put efforts into it. The actress would leave alone walking around the place, exploring the city on foot. While she was doing all this, she even made some local friends there. She picked up a couple of Hungarian words from them. On their recommendation, the actress even visited some local eateries there and absorbed the place completely. These experiences have really helped Kriti build her character as well as she enjoyed the feeling of doing things alone. Sharing on this, Kriti's spokesperson said, "This was required for her role and it has been a fun, learning process for her. By now, she is very familiar with the place." Directed by Dinesh Vijan, 'Raabta' stars Sushant Singh Rajput along with Kriti.
