Mumbai actress Kritika Kamra shares her thoughts on feminism, emphasizing the true meaning behind the movement. She explains that feminism is often misunderstood and unfairly criticized, but it’s really about fairness, equal rights, and empowerment for women—nothing hostile towards men.
Kritika highlights, “It’s sad that many women are hesitant to call themselves feminists today. The term has been twisted and demonized beyond its true purpose. Supporting women’s rights doesn’t mean hating men.” She adds, “Feminism is about demanding equal opportunities for women, which should be a basic human right, not about taking anything away from men.”
The actress urges women to reclaim the word ‘feminism’ and push back against the false idea that supporting women’s issues is confrontational. “We need to change how people see feminism. It stands for fairness, equity, and empowerment,” Kritika emphasizes.
Apart from her views on feminism, Kritika also believes in choosing meaningful roles. She wants her characters and stories to reflect strong, diverse women who challenge stereotypes and biases. “For me, acting is a responsibility. I want to be part of narratives that promote a positive, realistic image of women,” she says.
Kritika is set to star in a new film directed by Anusha Rizvi, featuring talented actresses like Shreya Dhanwanthary. The project was shot in Delhi and is now in the post-production phase. The film’s title hasn’t been revealed yet.
She’s also working on the upcoming movie “Matka King,” which stars Vijay Varma. This film, directed by renowned filmmaker Nagraj Manjule, is set in 1960s Mumbai and explores the gritty world of gambling. The story follows a daring cotton trader who introduces a new game called ‘Matka,’ creating a wave in the city and opening up new opportunities for everyday people.
“Matka King” features well-known actors like Sai Tamhankar, Gulshan Grover, and Siddharth Jadhav. The project is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Nagraj Manjule, with other producers including Gargi Kulkarni and Ashwin Sidwani, under the banner of Roy Kapur Films.
Kritika Kamra continues to choose roles and projects that inspire change and challenge stereotypes, both on-screen and off.
