Kriti is also into singing. “After her mass communication she was working in company and was simultaneously doing music as their entire family is deeply into it. It’s possibly the music that connects us and our families. My elder sister Sushma Mishra is also a singer.

Since everything is happening here so I will surely have a get-together in Mumbai. This is the season for concerts, and all are busy so we will set a date accordingly,” says Mishra.
