Actor Shraddha Kapoor, daughter of Shakti Kapoor, made her Bollywood debut with Teen Patti. However, it was not an easy journey. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Shraddha revealed that she broke down on the set of her debut film because she didn’t understand the world around her. Moreover, Kapoor was so heartbroken that she told her mom she didn’t want to return to the set.
During the interview, the Stree 2 actor shared, “I remember on the second or third day, I had a breakdown and told my mom I didn’t want to go back. 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.”
Shraddha’s debut movie Teen Patti also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley, R Madhavan and Raima Sen.
The 2010 movie didn’t fare well at the box office but she shot to fame after starring in Aashiqui 2 with Aditya Roy Kapur. Shraddha is basking in the success of Stree 2 which crossed the Rs 500 crore mark at the box office. It is considered to be one of the blockbuster movies.
