Kritika Kamra picks Nikhil Sinha over Ekta Kapoor, signs the former's fantasy show Chandrakanta!
Ekta Kapoor has launched many faces on the television. One of them was Kritika Kamra, whom she launched with Kitni Mohabbat Hai in 2009. And as per reports in a popular daily, the actress has signed her mentor's rival Nikhil Sinha's show Chandrakanta. What makes this interesting is, even Ekta is making a show on the popular fantasy subject and life of Chandrakanta.
While speaking to the daily, Kritika clarified, “I had no clue about the two producers working on the same subject. I realized it only when I saw both the teasers on the internet. Ekta has given me memorable shows and I am still remembered as Arohi from Kitani Mohabbat Hai. The rivalry could be between the channels or the production houses, but not between Ekta and me. We are friends and I'm sure she would be happy for me. Also, the fact that there are two shows will make the competition interesting. In the end, good content will win the audience's heart.Having said that, I want both the shows to do well.“
On being asked why she picked up this project, Kritika said, “I have never been part of a costume drama before. I have watched the first Chandrakanta as a child, but nostalgia isn't the reason I am taking it up. I found the script interesting. The central character is not only a beautiful woman, but she's also a fighter and has a sense of purpose,“ she answers.
An year-and-half ago, Kritika was seen opposite Rajeev Khandelwal in Reporters. How is she prepping for her new role? “I am on detox. I want to be in good shape, be healthy and have good skin. The look is very important and I need to look believable as a princess,“ she said, before signing off.
