Article: Kritika had different plans

She wanted to be a fashion designer, but a call from Balaji Telefilms was too difficult to resist for Kritika Kamra. "When Ekta Kapoor narrated my character, I instantly fell in love with Aarohi," reveals the chirpy 20-year-old. "Since I am also from a small town I can relate to Aarohi. The only difference is that Aarohi is a singer and I cannot sing at all... though I try to," she laughs.

A self-confessed shopaholic, Kritika loves to shop but she's not brand conscious and loves to shop for junk jewellery from Bandra in Mumbai and Janpath in Delhi. When asked about her slim figure, she exclaims, "C is the secret of my energy. I love chicken, cheese, chaat, chips, cookies, chocolates, cream, caramel..." A big football fanatic, she confesses that she would love to date Cristiano Ronaldo some day. With busy shoot schedules, she relies on her co-star and friend Karan Kundra for updates. Kritika also reveals that the Om pendant that she wears in Kitani Mohabbat Hai, on NDTV Imagine is her lucky charm. She does not leave home without it.
