MUMBAI: Shraddha Kapoor is currently making waves in Stree 2 and recently talked about how nobody in the industry wanted to collaborate with her following two box office failures in 2010 and 2011. However, Mohit Suri took a chance and cast her as the lead in Aashiqui 2.
She recalled her dark period when she had to go to multiple film auditions even though she was Shakti Kapoor's daughter. Shraddha has previously discussed "feeling like an outsider" in public.
In an interview with the popular news portal during Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar's promotions, Shraddha stated, “I feel I think very differently. I don’t know if there are any camps because I don’t think like that. My thinking from the start has been very different. I feel like an outsider who’s had a very regular way of getting into the industry where I had to give auditions for films. There have been so many auditions, just like anybody who wants to get their first or second film.”
“So I have been through all of that. For me, I only know that way. That has been my biggest strength as well. When people ask me ‘You know, you’re from a family but you don’t seem like you’re from a film family. You don’t do films with people from only a certain kind of background. How is it that you’ve had an unconventional journey?’ For me, it’s the most normal way of going about the films that I want to do…,” she added.
In light of her most recent comments, the video has reappeared on Reddit, where many are labeling her as delusional. A person wrote, “She is as delusional as the other nepos but it doesn’t make headlines cause of her next-door sweet girl image. She may be nice irl but the things they say are just what irks people.” Another person wrote, “She better end this drama now bc if she just owns her privilege she will become a bigger star bc honesty is all we need rn.”
However several fans quickly rushed to the actress's defence. A person wrote, “While I understand that Shraddha’s PR has gone overboard and she is definitely not an ‘outsider’, her journey was not a cakewalk either. She made her debut in 2010 in a film no one remembers and didn’t have any luck before Aashiqui 2.” Another person wrote, “Why don’t you guys try to understand her point?!? She is Shakti Kapoor’s daughter… that’s not a plus point… He was completely blacklisted by Bollywood.”
Bollywood debut for Shraddha Kapoor came in the play Teen Patti (2010). After that, she appeared in the 2011 movie Luv Ka The End. Both films failed at the box office and did not earn Shraddha Kapoor any praise.
