When Star Plus launched Deewaniyat in November 2024, the promo opened with two families celebrating Diwali together before an old feud turned them into rivals. The woman caught between the households was Mannat Malik Chaudhary, played by Kritika Singh Yadav, who told reporters she related to the role because Mannat is strong-headed and deeply loyal to her family.
It was a long way from where her screen career began. Kritika Singh Yadav, who is also searched as Kritika Yadav, started out as a model from Madhya Pradesh and a 2020 Femina Miss India Madhya Pradesh finalist. She made her television debut in 2021 and then built a run of leads: Prateeksha Parekh in Colorsâ Pyar Ke Saat Vachan Dharampatnii, a Tamil film debut in Rayar Parambarai, and finally Mannat in Deewaniyat, which ran from 11 November 2024 to 29 January 2025.
This profile follows that run and also sorts out two things older articles got wrong: her birth date and a Splitsvilla claim that Belloria could not confirm.

Who Is Kritika Singh Yadav?
Kritika Singh Yadav is an Indian actress and model who works mainly in Hindi television and has one Tamil film to her name. On screen and on IMDb she is credited as Kritika Singh Yadav, while many older profiles and search results use Kritika Yadav for the same actress.
She is best known for two television leads: Prateeksha in Colorsâ Pyar Ke Saat Vachan Dharampatnii (2022 to 2023) and Mannat in Star Plusâs Deewaniyat (2024 to 2025).
Early Life and Background
Kritika Singh Yadav comes from Madhya Pradesh. Profiles place her hometown in Seoni or Bhopal and give her family nickname as Pranshi, but none of this comes from an interview Belloria could find, and sources conflict on her birth date: 11 November 1997 in most profiles, 11 August 1997 in one older one. Names of parents and details of schooling that appear in some profiles could not be confirmed, so they are left out.
Career
Modelling and pageants
She began as a model and worked on print shoots and jewellery campaigns, including for PNG Jewellers and Isharya. In 2020 she was a finalist in VLCC Femina Miss India Madhya Pradesh. An older profile said she finished third, but no placing has been confirmed, so Belloria reports only that she was a finalist.
Television debut and a Tamil film (2021 to 2023)
Her television debut was StarPlusâs Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha in 2021, where she played Charmi. She later described it as her first TV show and said the experience was good. Her film debut followed in the Tamil comedy Rayar Parambarai, released in 2023, which also stars Krishna Sekhar and Motta Rajendran. An older profile placed her Tamil debut in 2021, but IMDb lists the film in 2023.
Pyar Ke Saat Vachan Dharampatnii (2022 to 2023)
The role that brought her wider recognition was Prateeksha Parekh, a simple school teacher opposite Fahmaan Khanâs business tycoon Ravi Randhawa, in the Balaji Telefilms drama Pyar Ke Saat Vachan Dharampatnii, which premiered on Colors on 28 November 2022. A month into the run she told DT Next that the show was bringing her the recognition she felt her earlier work had not, and that it could be a game-changer for her career. The cast marked 100 episodes in April 2023.
Aukaat Se Zyada and Deewaniyat (2024 to 2025)
IMDb lists her in Aukaat Se Zyada in 2024. Her next major lead was Deewaniyat, which aired on Star Plus from 11 November 2024 and ended on 29 January 2025. It was the second Hindi remake of the Tamil series Eeramana Rojave, produced by Cockrow Entertainment and Shaika Films, with Vijayendra Kumeria and Navneet Malik as her co-leads.
