Shraddha Kapoor had made her debut in the industry with ‘Teen Patti‘ which had released in the year 2010. The film also starred Amitabh Bachchan, R Madhavan, however, it did not get much noticed at the box office. It was only with ‘Aashiqui 2‘ that Shraddha tasted success. In a recent interview, Shraddha has opened up on how she was so scared and almost never wanted to act, just after 2-3 days of starting her first movie.
The actress said during a chat with Cosmopolitan, “I remember on the second or third day, I had a breakdown and told my mom I didn’t want to go back and I didn’t understand this world since I had never AD’ed on a film set and was just 20 or 21.People were not always very nice, cause if you were a ‘somebody’ you would be suddenly spoken to in a different way, and if you were a nobody, you would be treated like that. I could see all this and felt sad about it. My first film felt far more challenging than my second, where I was more confident and realised that if someone doesn’t know something and is a little lost, you have to be kind to them.”
The actress also acknowledged the fact that being Shakti Kapoor‘s daughter and being from the industry, she does have that privilege. “I am very privileged to do what I do. I know how there are millions who would want to be where I am, so I better keep my head down and be grateful and diligent. I hear my dad’s stories of coming from a film background, and then I think of my nana’s [maternal grandfather] journey of how he became a classical musician when he came from Kolhapur to Bombay, so I know, in my family too, I am the privileged one,” said Shraddha.
The actress was last seen in ‘Stree 2‘ which broke all the records and turned out to be the highest grossing Hindi movie ever.
