Kritika Kamra Join Forces With Vijay Varma For Matka King: ‘I Have Significant Role’

People who have seen Kitni Mohabbat Hai will definitely remember Kritika Kamra. The actress won hearts with her role as Arohi. Now, she is once again set to enthral her audience with a new role. In an interview, Kritika confirmed that she will be playing the female lead in the upcoming series Matka King, which stars Vijay Varma in the leading role. The actress, who was in talks to play the female lead in the drama series, has filmed a few minor scenes while the substantial parts are yet to be shot.

Confirming the news, Kritika said during an interview with Hindustan Times, “My character plays a significant role in the evolution of Matka in the ’70s and ’80s in Mumbai. Matka, of course, is satta or betting, which is introduced and revolutionized by Vijay’s character, who is the Matka King, and my character joins him in the journey and shapes it.”

The drama series, marked by its twists and turns, is expected to captivate the audience, and the 35-year-old actress is confident that these elements will keep viewers engaged. “Betting, as we know, has lots of ups and downs, which changes the journey of the show like a thriller. But it’s an evolution story, a drama,” says the actress.
