Mumbai – Kritika Kamra has consistently embraced bold choices across television, films, and digital platforms. With Saare Jahan Se Acha, recently announced as part of Netflix’s new slate, she continues to advocate for women-centric storytelling.
In an industry still striving for meaningful female representation, Kritika believes actresses have a responsibility to support narratives that go beyond surface-level feminism.
In a latest interview, the actress said, “Feminism isn’t just about social media posts; it requires real-world action. Armchair feminism doesn’t work—you have to walk the talk. Sharing a hashtag isn’t enough. We need to make conscious choices in our roles, speak up for the right causes, and create spaces where women can thrive. It’s about actively pushing for gender equality and making tangible contributions to women’s empowerment. If you have the resources, use them to build something impactful. Feminism is a lifelong commitment, not a trend.”
As discussions on women’s rights gain momentum in the entertainment industry, Kritika urges the industry to move beyond performative support for women. By calling out passive engagement with feminist ideals, she challenges both her peers and fans to take responsibility for fostering real change.
The Mitron actress further emphasizes that for her, choosing roles isn’t just about screen time but meaningful representation.
Speaking about Saare Jahan Se Acha and Matka King, she asserts, “These films put women at the forefront in a substantial way. Their journeys matter, and that’s the kind of storytelling I want to champion.”
