As Matka King continues to stream and gather positive word of mouth, its lead actors Vijay Varma and Kritika Kamra are also drawing attention for the mutual respect they share for each other’s craft. In a recent interview, Kritika spoke about Vijay’s approach to acting, appreciating the way he prioritises the scene over the individual spotlight. She said, “Vijay is a really sharp actor, and someone who plays for the scene and not himself. I think this comes from his training, curiosity and giving nature.”
She further added that working with him is both easy and creatively fulfilling. Vijay, too, had high praise for Kritika during the show’s promotions. He shared that she constantly challenged him as a co-actor, bringing something new to every take. According to him, that unpredictability and commitment made her one of his favourite actors to perform with, as it kept the energy alive in every scene. What stands out in their collaboration is that they both have a shared goal and that is to serve the story. Both seem to thrive on each other’s strengths, pushing one another to explore layers within their performances.
Their dynamic is built on trust, respect and a genuine appreciation for the craft of acting. As Matka King continues to find its audience, this off-screen camaraderie is clearly translating into a compelling on-screen chemistry and partnership.
