there’s
something
that
is
more
progressive
and
more
modern,
I
would
love

Krystal
D’Souza
shot
to
stardom
on
television
before
starring
in
Hindi
films
like
the
Amitabh
Bachchan
starrer
Chehre
and
Riteish
Deshmukh-Fardeen
Khan’s
Viosfot.
Several
actors
who
have
been
a
part
of
the
television
industry
have
often
talked
about
the
difficult
nature
of
the
medium.
From
a
hectic
schedule
of
over
12
hours,
no
leave,
monotony
of
work
and
the
pressure
of
staying
fit,
there’s
a
lot
that
television
actors
need
to
keep
up
with.
Krystal
harks
back
to
her
television
days
and
says
it
was
great
“schooling”
for
her
because
of
the
“discipline”
the
medium
teaches
an
actor.
“Television
teaches
you
punctuality;
it
teaches
you
responsibility…
I
have
learnt
a
lot
from
television,”
she
tells
Mayur
Sanap/Rediff.com.
WATCH:
Krystal
on
her
experience
of
working
in
television
serials:
While
many
would
try
to
shed
the
‘TV
actor’
tag
because
they
are
looking
for
roles
in
films
or
OTT
shows,
Krystal
says
she
does
not
disassociate
herself
from
television
serials.
“I
wouldn’t
mind
going
back
to
television.
If
there’s
something
that
is
more
progressive
and
more
modern,
I
would
love
to
do
it,”
she
says.
Krystal
made
inroads
into
OTT
in
2019
with
Ekta
Kapoor’s
show
Fittrat
and
thinks
OTT
is
instrumental
for
creating
a
better
space
for
not
just
actors
but
also
technicians.
“OTT
has
opened
a
very
wide
space
for
a
lot
of
actors
and
technicians
also,”
she
says.
“There
was
either
films
or
television
that
people
were
working
on.
This
was
true
for
actors
and
crew
as
well.
And
now
we
all
have
more
job
opportunities
and
more
scope
to
do
different
kinds
of
roles.
With
TV,
we
used
to
do
one
character
for
a
really,
really,
long
time.
Now
we
can
do
different
characters
and
get
done
with
it
in
40,50
days.”

Her
OTT
stint
followed
with
Visfot,
in
which
she
shared
screen
space
with
Ritiesh
Deshmukh
and
Fardeen
Khan.
While
the
film
met
with
mixed
reviews
from
critics,
Krystal
says
she
was
elated
the
way
people
reacted
to
her
performance.
“I
have
gotten
amazing
reviews
for
what
I
have
done
and
all
the
reviews
that
I
have
read,
excluding
one
or
two,
have
been
great.
I
have
gotten
amazing
feedback
for
the
film
and
people
have
loved
that
there
was
so
much
suspense,
thrills
and
Ritiesh
and
Fardeen
not
doing
a
comedy
and
doing
something
exciting
and
mysterious…
I
think
that
was
refreshing
for
people
to
see.”
Now
that
she
is
all
set
to
further
her
career
in
films,
is
there
a
dream
character
for
Krystal?
She
tells,
“I
like
watching
psychological
thrillers.
I
would
love
to
do
a
Gone
Girl.”
Krystal
says
she
is
enjoying
the
current
phase
in
her
career
where
she
getting
a
lot
of
opportunities.
“But,”
Krystal
says…
“I
think
my
best
is
yet
to
come.
This
is
the
beginning.”
