Jai Shri Krishna's Natkhat Krishna

Two years and ten months old Dhriti Bhatia is currently the toast of Indian television. She plays the role of Krishna in Jai Shri Krishna and it seems Dhriti is quite a natkhat makhanchor in real life too.

“She is very active and naughty. Once she gets a break all her masti starts,” says her father. Dhriti shoots for about 3-4 hours a day and is always accompanied by her parents on the sets.

And if you think being acting at such a young age is any trouble for the little girl you are wrong.

“We have the script and following it we make her understand what and how a particular scene is suppose to be done,” says Dhriti’s father.

Dialogues in the show are definitely a result of the voice-over but what about the expressions - where does she get all those cute excellent expressions from; to this the proud father says, “It’s all God’s gift!”

After 45 days, sweet little kid has got attached to almost everyone on the sets and gets along well. Her co-ordination with other child characters is amazing as she plays and interacts with them in a better way. “She has even managed to learn some professional words like ‘cap-up’ instead of pack up,” laughs her father.

And like in the case of all child artists, there are days when Dhriti is in no mood to stand before the camera. “When not in the mood she keeps saying bahar chalo whether it’s an outdoor shoot or an indoor or simply starts crying.”

This is not Dhriti’s first brush with fame. At an age when most toddlers are enjoying allt he attention in their homes, cute little Dhriti has been the face in many adverts already.

Earlier too, she has worked in for commercials like Junior Horlicks and Emami Powder.

Talking about her future, Dhriti’s parents say they want to move from TV to the bigger screen soon. “I am looking forward to a Bollywood assignment now but once she grows up… she’ll decide what she has to do further,” says her father.
