Kritika Kamra expressed her desire to do a romantic musical in a recent interview.
Kritika Kamra is one of the few popular faces from the small screen who has made a successful transition from the telly world to the OTT space. With popular web shows like Tandav, Hush Hush, Bambai Meri Jaan, amongst others, the actress is known for taking up intriguing, strong characters on screen.
Recently in an interview with Filmfare, Kritika was asked to reveal a role that she would love to take up in future, but hasn’t been offered yet. In response, she said that after a string of intense roles, she is now craving to do a romantic musical.
“There’s so much. I mean, sky’s the limit today. The writing is so good and diverse. I’d be limiting if I had a wish list. But top of my list right now, coming off of these intense dramas, like I was saying earlier, I’m really craving to do a musical, romantic, something that requires me to pick up a skill like a certain dance form or something. Like something in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali world. Maybe. Like a costume drama with opulence and dance numbers. Everything I’ve done is very realistic and gritty which is a lot of fun. And I love watching it. But just to switch things up, some romanticism would be lovely,” Kritika told the news portal.
In the same interview, the actress also reflected upon her evolution as an actor and said that she picked up all the skills on the job as she started her acting career at the age of 18.
Kritika said, “You have to have basic talent or basic sense for it. And then there is a huge amount of skill also required that you need to fine-tune and keep learning. Because it is, at the end of the day, done under certain circumstances. You have to hit a mark. You have to take the light. You have to know camera.”
At the same time, the ‘Reporters’ actress also admitted that she is yet to learn how to stop being critical.
“I cringe watching myself. I am unforgiving. I want to redo everything that I watch. But I also understand that I can’t be a pain for the director. So, I never tell them anything. It’s just my internal dialogue. Or when I watch at home or something, I have this feeling,” said Kritika.
Further, the actress said that over the years, she has learnt that one’s conduct on sets is bigger than talent, and that talent without work ethics is nothing.
She said, “But on set, also one thing that I’ve learned over the years is that your conduct is everything. Character is bigger than talent. And how you conduct yourself and how professional you are and how good you are to work with as a professional takes you far. And that’s something I think I take pride in. My work ethic. Because that’s something that I’m very conscious about. Because talent without that is honestly nothing. I completely agree to that.”
On the work front, Kritika Kamra was recently seen in Zee5’s Gyaarah Gyaarah alongside Raghav Juyal and Dhairya Karwa. Her next is Nagraj Manjule’s upcoming web series, Matka King alongside Vijay Varma and Sai Tamhankar.
