Kritika Kamra in Saare Jahan Se Accha
Kritika Kamra, who has proved her acting prowess for about 18 years in the industry, stepped away from the telly world for her stints on OTT. After being a part of shows like Tandav, Hush Hush, and Gyaarah Gyaarah, she steps into the shoes of a journalist in Netflix’s Saare Jahan Se Accha. In an exclusive interaction with mid-day, Kritika speaks about her limited screen time in the show, navigating her career, and more.
In the show, Kritika is asked to change her allegiance and spy for India. Ask her what she’d do with an opportunity to go undercover, and the actor quips, “I want to spy on certain producers and platforms to know what they`re interested in, what they`re going to make ahead, so I know the kind of choices that we`re going to have as actors.”
Despite appearing for a brief period in the show, Kritika calls it a choice. While she understands the saying, “There are no small roles, only small actors,” if one doesn’t consider mainstream, they are boxed as character actors.
