Talking about the same in an exclusive conversation with OTTplay, Kritika said: "The roles being powerful, yes that's something we still need to work on. I thin representation of women on screen and also just having more women in the crew and around that is something we need to continue to work on but things have gotten better."
"I’ve been a part of two all women show or I can say women lead shows but this this particular story is a representation of that era that world. We are trying to authentically tell you a story of that time in this real world. You know thse women and these parts that we have in the show or a like really powerful and strong. That’s a personality trait not just in law just how trade of course and I think that is because the length so far Makers is such a look at a female characters like characters. They are human beings and you’re not just somebody’s mother or somebody sister or that's not the only function in the plot and the story. How these characters are developed and in their own traits as well, there's a lot of strength," the actress added.
