Krithi Shetty

I hail from a Kannada family. And I have grown up in Mumbai.

Despite having an interest in acting, I never thought of choosing films as a career.

I always wanted to become a doctor.

I appeared in some commercials while continuing my studies. Through them, I got an opportunity to play the female lead in 'Uppena'. They saw my photos on social media and contacted me.

Panja Vaisshnav Tej is such a talented actor. He competed with experienced actors and performed very well.

I was studying Psychology when 'Uppena' came my way. I decided to take the plunge because I totally loved the story.

I am a method actor because I listen to a sad song when I have to act in a sad scene. That way, I try to get into the mood.

Listening to the director always interact with me in Telugu, I got a hang of the language on the sets of 'Uppena'. Given that I had no acting training beforehand, it took time for me to deliver long lines.
