TV stalwart Ekta Kapoor has launched numerous faces on the
television. One of them was Kritika Kamra, whom she launched with Kitni
Mohabbat Hai in 2009. And according reports in a famous tabloid, the actress
has signed her mentor's competitor 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 talking to the daily, Kritika explained, “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 enquired why she picked up this project, Kritika told,
“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 replies.
An year-and-half ago, Kritika was seen opposite Rajeev
Khandelwal in Reporters. How is she preparing 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 told,
before ending.
