Kriti Sanon, who essays the role of a small-town girl in Bareilly Ki Barfi, talks about societal change.

A girl who smokes and has tattoos on her body isn't acceptable by the society and is a notion that exists in India.

In Bareilly Ki Barfi, Kriti's character as Bitti strives to break this stereotype. 

While talking about the issue Kriti shares, `Smoking is not good for health and should be avoided. I am a non-smoker, but the point we want to make is that girls who smoke, who are fond of body art or break into a jig are not characterless. Our society has a very small bracket for `good girls'. That bracket needs to broaden up or change. When a guy is moophat or smokes, he is not considered characterless, but you judge girls too fast. This is seen more in smaller towns. In an arranged marriage too, only a girl is asked all kinds of questions. I really want this to change.`

'Bareilly Ki Barfi' is touted as the tastiest entertainer of the year. The trailer of the film and the songs have created immense anticipation amongst the audiences.
