While she has had steady growth in her career, she says she didn’t turn to acting for money or fame. “When I started out, I had no idea what I was doing. I was 16, and acting was a new, exciting thing. So, I took it on. It was an excuse to get away from college,” she says with a laugh.

Krystle got a letter from her college, which excused her from attending classes because she had to act in a TV show. This was incentive enough to get her interested. Krystle says, “I didn’t even know how to speak Hindi or act. I didn’t think about fame and money. I didn’t talk about money with the producers as I was a minor. My parents handled that part. But I am from a family where money was never an issue.”

She adds that she didn’t realise how popular she had become until people started recognizing her on the roads. “Then, it hits you. That’s how I started liking the profession. The child in me wanted to try out new things and do something different,” says Krystle.
