She might be late to the party, but Kritika Kamra is quickly making up for lost time. Unlike countless fans around the world, the actor was introduced to Korean dramas only recently, thanks to Gyaarah Gyaarah. When she was cast in director Umesh Bist’s crime series, she learned it was a remake of the popular Korean show, Signal (2016). That was enough to pique her interest in K-dramas. “I was eager to watch the original. But I was immediately cautioned [against it] by my director because he wanted me to have a fresh take on my character. So, I haven’t watched Signal yet, but I have caught up on some other hit shows. Now, I know why everyone’s hooked on to K-dramas,” laughs the actor, who plays a cop in the ZEE5 offering that revolves around time travel.
