TOI Article:About Kritika Kamra

Kritika Kamra, the popular TV actor was one of the celebrity guests at the Khemka wedding held in the city on Wednesday. While in the city, Kritika recalled her days spent as a child in Kanpur. "I just attended the wedding as a guest. I did not perform there," clarified Kritika.


Feeling at home in Kanpur, Kritika said, "I have an old connect with Kanpur. It feels like home. My nana-nani used to stay here. In fact, I have also studied here till class 7 at St Joseph's Senior Secondary School. Though my grandparents don't live here anymore, but I have some close family friends here and whenever I visit Kanpur, I make sure I meet them. This time my visit to the city was a very short one and I missed out on eating matar chaat, which is a specialty of the Kanpur."

Not a fan of saas-bahu serials, Kritika says they're not her cup of tea. "My show, Reporters has just finished and at the moment I am enjoying my freedom from work. As far as saas-bahu serials are concerned, I won't do them because they are quite regressive. The story in such serials hardly moves forward and seems to get stuck in time. I did Reporters only because the story was very progressive and the story line moved forward. There was a lot happening in the serial," said Kritika who's also reading a few movie scripts. "I am reading scripts these days but something concrete has yet to materialize," said she.

And while on a break from work, Kritika who's an adventure freak, recently holiday in South Africa. "I was in South Africa to vacation. I tried bungy jumping from the world's highest bridge and also tried my hand at skydiving. It was such a thrilling experience that I did it once again after two days," said she with a laugh, adding, "The experience of diving from 12,000 feet was out of the world."
