INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
From a young age, Shraddha Kapoor showcased an innate flair for the performing arts, participating enthusiastically in every school event that came her way, whether it was dancing, singing, drama, or sports. These formative experiences during her childhood helped cultivate her creativity and passion for performance. Interestingly, her first crush blossomed in the classroom, igniting a spark that would later intertwine with her admiration for the world of cinema. Among her youthful infatuations were fellow classmates and Bollywood stars, with Varun Dhawan capturing her attention and a lingering crush on the charismatic Hrithik Roshan, whom she idolized after watching his debut film, “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” in 2000. She even dedicated a wall in her room to his photographs, a testament to her burgeoning love for the film industry, though she initially had no aspirations to become an actress.
It was at the age of 16 when her career potential was first recognized; Bollywood superstar Salman Khan offered her a role in the film “Lucky: No Time for Love.” Despite the opportunity, she declined, feeling unprepared for the spotlight. However, her admiration for iconic actress Sridevi, particularly her performances in films like “Nagina” (1986) and “Nigahen” (1989), continued to inspire her. Eventually, a production house’s approach to her reignited her passion, leading her to feature prominently in Hindi films such as “Luv Ka The End” (2011), “Ek Villain” (2014), and “Baaghi” (2016). Shraddha’s role as Arohi Keshav Shirke in “Aashiqui 2” (2013) was a significant highlight in her career, earning critical acclaim that established her as a talented actress in the industry.
As her star continued to rise, Shraddha garnered recognition as one of the most searched celebrities according to Google Trends from 2014 to 2015. She ranked as the fifth sexiest actress in FHM’s Indian edition in 2013 and was later included in various lists by Rediff.com and The Times of India, celebrating her talent and appeal. By 2016, she was listed in Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 and emerged as one of Bollywood’s highest-paid actresses, commanding an impressive fee of ₹5 crore per film. Beyond her acting career, Shraddha is a trained singer, having lent her voice to popular tracks in films like “ABCD 2,” “Baaghi,” and “Half Girlfriend.” In 2015, she made her mark in the fashion world, launching her first line, “Imara,” at the Amazon India Fashion Week.
Continuing her journey through both film and fashion, Shraddha took on diverse roles, including that of Haseena Parkar in the 2017 biographical crime film, which received praise from critics and audiences alike. She has also made notable contributions to films like “Chhichhore” (2019) and “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” (2023). In 2021, she ventured into music, collaborating with Bhuvan Bam for the music video “Kill Chori,” while expanding her brand portfolio by becoming an ambassador for several brands, including MyGlamm and Indya. Alongside her professional accomplishments, Shraddha is known for her deep love for animals, particularly her pet Lhasa Apso, Shyloh, and her passion for fitness, gardening, and reading. As a certified scuba diver and enthusiastic traveler, she often shares glimpses of her adventures on social media. Despite her public persona, she recently revealed in an October 2024 interview that she is in a relationship, although she chose to keep her partner’s name private, adding an air of intrigue to her already fascinating life.
