Shraddha Kapoor, a powerhouse performer known for her charm and versatility, continues to dominate Hindi Cinema, a journey that has rightfully landed her on the cover of Filmfare’s November 2024 edition. Her latest blockbuster, Stree 2 not only broke several records but also solidified her position as a box office favorite. The cover star’s success story is a testament to her deep passion for storytelling, relentless self-belief, and refusal to let fame define her. Renowned for her sincerity, fearless approach to challenging roles, and dedication to pushing creative boundaries, Shraddha serves as an inspiration for countless aspiring actors across the country. Besides being one of the sought-after Hindi actresses, she’s admired by millions on social media for her grounded demeanour, vibrant personality, and genuine love for her craft.
Reflecting on the astronomical success of Stree 2 and whether she derives validation from box office hits, Shraddha shares, “Honestly, I’ve been a part of so many films that have done well. Of course, Stree 2 has gone to a whole new level. But, I’ve mainly only got my validation from myself and my loved ones. So validation aside, I am very, very grateful.”
Shraddha’s outlook on life is vividly colorful. She expresses, “Every day is very colourful for me. Every single day is a rainbow colour. I look at the world with rose-tinted glasses, and every day of mine is like that.”
When asked about her plans to relocate, Shraddha highlights her strong connection to her roots, especially her home in Juhu, saying, “My heart belongs in the heartland. No place like home. I would never want to relocate from Juhu or even from my galli.”
For Shraddha, failure is a doorway to success. She emphasizes, “Failure is an important stepping stone towards success. I’ve not heard of anyone having a straightforward path towards success. There’s always some kind of obstacle, something people have had to overcome, and the same thing has been true for me too.”
Talking about her love for acting, she reflects, “I can’t imagine being anything else but an actor. Doing exactly what I’m doing… And I think people imagine a different kind of life only when they’re not satisfied with their current life.”
On balancing her love for food and fitness, Shraddha remarks, “I eat a lot, I also work out.” She humorously adds, “I am a Bakasur. I could be like Kumbhakaran, six months sleeping, six months eating.”
