Afew years ago when she first started playing a mother on the small screen it was a rather strange feeling. Says Kruttika Desai, "I was playing mother to somebody just seven to eight years younger than me. But, gradually it was fine."
Kruittika's had a 12-year acting span. "I have played lead roles. But, you can't play the central character always. After a point, you have to step back and make way for fresher faces for these roles. Besides, I see that there are female actors much younger to me who are playing mother's roles, that too just four to five years after getting into acting," says Krutika, who's currently seen Aisa Des Mein Mera. In recent times, she has always played negative roles. "Yes, ever since I started doing mother's roles, I've been getting negative glamourous roles. But in Aisa Des... my character is out and out negative, but with grey shades," she points out.
On the personal front, Kruttika is married to actor Imtiyaz Khan, late Amjad Khan's brother. They got married 16 years ago and their age difference (almost 20 years) was much-talked about, with some even speculating if their marriage would last. "Yes, there were speculations if my marriage would last. But after a point, people stopped speculating. They realised this was one of those boring couples that will stick to each other," she laughs
