Kamra who has done shows like Kitani Mohabbat Hai and Chandrakanta defends herself by saying she¡¯s picky.
In a conversation with India Today, she said, ¡°Even since the beginning when I didn't know much about the industry, I was very particular about what I wanted to do. We have to be very conscious of what we are representing. Also, as a creative person, I also have to find something either relatable or realistic.¡±

Kritika who is all set to play Habiba in her upcoming web series ¡®Bambai Meri Jaan¡¯ says that she is not an aspirational character.
¡°I don't want people to be like her, but it's a very interesting role. On television, a large part of the program is made up of saas-bahu shows. It is quite regressive honestly. So it is difficult to stay on television, but I tried my best.¡±
Kamra continued, ¡°Thankfully, in films and the web that is not such a big challenge because the scripts are very diverse. Even here, I don't want to repeat myself. I don't want to be boxed into characters that are just hero, heroine, love interest or maybe sister, etc. The characters that I play have to be more than a relation to the main character. That's what I am against.¡±
Kritika shared that she doesn't think she will ever get back to television.

She shared, ¡°I don't think I need to. I am at a place now where I am getting to choose from some very exciting work on the web. The web is where the best writing is happening at this point. You have new voices. The line between the web and film has also blurred. I am not getting to collaborate with some of the best people. I don't want to let go of that.¡±
Shujaat Saudagar's 'Bambai Meri Jaan' is currently premiering on September 14 on Prime Video.
On the web space, Kritika has also starred in shows like Hush Hush, Tandav, I Don¡¯t Watch TV, Friend Zoned and Kaun Banegi Shikharwati. She has also starred in films like Bheed and Mitron.
