The talented actress is learning the Gujarati dance form, Garba for her upcoming film Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se featuring the Deols.Apparently, the gorgeous actress riding high on the success of her last release Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana has been spending several hours a day learning Garba from a dance tutor who specializes in the dance art form.A source informs, “In the film, which is the third installment of the successful franchise, Kriti plays a Gujarati girl and she wants to leave no stone unturned to make sure that she appears convincing in her character. “Kriti is learning Garba for a particular song in the film and she wants to master the Gujarati dance form. She is quite athletic and swift on her feet. Though it’s not an easy dance form, the actress is trying her best and is quite excited to learn it,” the source adds. At the top of her game, the gorgeous actress will also be seen doingan extended cameo opposite Dulquer Salmaan in Karwaan and Veerey Ki Wedding alongside Pulkit Samra.kriti's quote:  As a kid the only time I used to get out at night when I was in 9th and 10th std, the only time I had permission to go out at night, was during Navratri cause we all used to go play dandiya and garba. So I think that’s my most fond memory of playing dandiya and garba, so the second they said they are shooting the song I literally went down memory lane and I still remember wearing all those colourful outfits and buying those colourful dandiya sticks and all of that came running back and then we had so many ideas about what to wear and how to wear and what to do in the entire song and I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a very very exciting one. I’ve heard the song and it’s fantastic. Plus I feel garba is a great way to tone up to lose weight so it’s all working out for me I have no complaints!
