People now know that I refuse to play bystander in a story: Kritika Kamra

NEW DELHI: (Apr 21) Artists are never the sole decision-makers of anything, says actor Kritika Kamra, who is glad her choices have helped build a perception where people don't come to her for bystander roles.

Kamra earned a lot of praise for her role as the hassled daughter trying to meet a work deadline while dealing with a family crisis all in one day in the much-loved "The Great Shamsuddin Family" and she now stars as a rich Parsi widow in filmmaker Nagraj Manjule's "The Matka King", co-starring Vijay Varma.

Both Kamra and Varma are rank outsiders who have made a name for themselves without any backing.
