]]==Early life== Preetika was born and brought up in Mumbai as the second daughter to a Konkani speaking family originally from Karwar.[3] Her father owns a prominent advertising agency whilst her mother is a house-wife. Her elder sister,Amrita Rao, is a noted Hindi actress who has appeared in over ten feature films. She did her schooling in Convent Girls High School and graduated from Sophia College, Mumbai as a History graduate, whilst receiving minors in mass communication and journalism.[2][3]
Career
Preetika started her modeling career at the age of 19 in an advert for Cadburys alongside Amitabh Bachchan and featured in several prestigious ad campaigns in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and Indonesia.[4] Preetika had also had her own Bollywood column with South Side movie magazine in Chennai where she contributed from Mumbai.[2] During her time as a writer, Preetika also featured in articles from the Deccan Chronicle and the Asian Age. She currently holds a post with the Bangalore Mirror.
Preetika was first signed by Rajendra Singh Babu to feature in Raktaksha opposite his son, Adithya, in a Kannada language film. The film has completed most of its shoot, but its compeltion was put on hold after the production house ran into financial constraints.[5] Preetika's first release was the 2010 Tamil romantic film, Chikku Bukku, which also featured Arya and Shriya Saran. She had been approached for the role after the director Manikandan had spotted her photograph in her Column in a magazine she wrote in at the time, to replace Vidya Balan in the project.[6][2] Preetika played the role of a rural girl from the 1980s settled in Karaikudi who falls in love with Arya, and to prepare for her role she took Tamil diction lessons from her grandmother, who was born in Tamil Nadu.[3] Post-release, her portrayal has won critical acclaim, with a critic from Rediff claiming that Preetika "walks away with the honours" and looks "fresh and appealing", whilst Sify's review cites that she is the "surprise packet" and is "promising".[7][8]
