A popular face and name in the Indian film, television and theatre industry, Krutika Desai Khan is all set to enter COLORS popular show, Uttaran in a completely bold avatar.

Entering the show as Ekadish who plays Vishu's mother, Kruthika will be seen sporting a bald look for the show. She will be the first actresses on Indian television to go bald for a role following in the footsteps of other famous Bollywood actresses like Shabana Azmi, Lisa Ray, Nandita Das, Sarika and now recently Tanuja, who have shaved their hair off for roles.

Well recognized for her character in 'A mouthful of Sky, Kkusum, Buniyaad, Yeh Meri Life Hai, and Anu Ki Ho Gayi Wah Bhai Wah, Krutika is known to never shy away from doing bold roles.

A little nervous and a little excited, Kruthika got emotional at the actual moment when her hair was shaved but was also sporty and excited for this new beginning.

Talking about this experience, Kruthika said, "I feel good as well as a little embarrassed with my new look. It took a lot of courage to agree to this role and it took me a while to make up my mind to finally decide on taking up this role. When I was approached for the role, my daughter was more excited than me and she was the one who motivated me to take on this role".

Adding on a lighter note, Kruthika added, "Summer is around the corner. Luckily I won't have to worry about my hair and feeling hot.
