Kritika Kamra has never been one to shy away from bold choices—be it in television, films, or the digital space. With her next project, Saare Jahan Se Acha, recently announced as part of Netflix’s upcoming slate, the actress continues her stay with her stand to tell stories that place women at the center. In an industry where meaningful female representation is still an ongoing battle, Kritika believes that actresses have a responsibility to champion narratives that do more than just check the feminist box. She speaks about why it’s important to back projects that truly empower women and how her career choices reflect that belief. Kamra believes true feminism goes far beyond online hashtags and posts. 

"Feminism is not something you post about on social media and leave at that. It’s about real-world action. Armchair feminism doesn’t work – you have to walk the talk. It’s not enough to share a post with a hashtag and call yourself a feminist. We need to constantly make the right choices in the roles we take, speak up for the right causes, and create spaces where women can thrive. It’s about actively pushing for gender equality and empowering women through our actions. This goes beyond just awareness; it’s about building foundations and initiating change. If you have the resources or platform, start something, create initiatives, and make real contributions to the empowerment of women. That’s what feminism really is – a lifelong commitment to equality, not just a trend."
