Mumbai, Jan 29 (NationPress) Actress Kritika Kamra emphasizes her commitment to making bold decisions and has intentionally distanced herself from projects that cater to the male gaze.

Discussing her principles, Kritika stated, "I’ve always actively avoided projects that focus on the male perspective. My aim is to engage in significant narratives that celebrate genuine stories and authentic characters."

“I aspire to bring vitality to roles that align with my values and positively influence the broader cinematic narrative. It’s never been about the quantity of projects; it’s about the impact they create,” she remarked.

“I am committed to making bold choices and remaining true to myself as an artist, and I feel fortunate to discover stories that enable me to express myself genuinely,” she added.

Previously, the actress mentioned her attraction to roles that defy stereotypes and her conscious decision to decline work that glorifies weak, dependent women.

Reflecting on her journey, Kritika noted, “From portraying a fierce spy in For Your Eyes Only to a clever cop in Gyaarah Gyaarah, I am drawn to roles that challenge stereotypes.”

“I aspire to tell stories that showcase strong, multi-dimensional women who assert themselves and defy societal norms. It’s not merely about taking on various roles; it’s about representing characters with intention and depth that inspire viewers,” she added.

In discussing her approach, she explained, “I have intentionally turned down roles that glorify weak, dependent women. My characters are independent. They possess agency, resilience, and a voice that demands acknowledgment.”

“As an actor, I feel a duty to depict women who exemplify strength and individuality,” Kritika remarked.

On the professional front, Kritika will soon appear in 'Matka King', which explores the complex realm of Matka gambling that originated in Mumbai. The series also stars Vijay Varma in the lead role of the Matka King.
