Shraddha Kapoor is on cloud nine.
And why not? She's notched up another hit with Stree 2.
Just like that.
It seems she's made a habit of plucking hits out of thin air.
Success, she says, is all about doing what you love.
She isn't fazed by failure either Failure, according to her, is just a stepping stone to success.
Nice thought that. Her burgeoning social media numbers indicate that all is well in her world. At the photoshoot, the mercury is soaring high. She's radiating energy, and our glasses are fogging up. She's gentle and soft, yet she knows how to galvanise the screen and turn heads. So, I snag her for a chat. Instead of asking the mundane "How are you feeling?" questions, I throw some random stuff at her, and she plays along.
The game is on. Read on.
SO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
What am I thinking about right now? I’m wondering how much sugar there is in the cold coffee I’m drinking because it’s really delicious.
WORK WISE?
I’m in Delhi for a brand shoot and an event tomorrow. I just got off a call. I was calling home asking how my little puppy is doing. So she is on my mind right now, my little puppy. Her name is Small. Like Small Medium, Large.
WHAT DOES THE SUCCESS OF STREE 2 MEAN TO YOU?
It means a lot. I’m just so happy that in general also this period has been really good for Hindi movies. And also that I’m a part of a film that has done so well and has gotten so much love from the audiences. So I’m feeling very grateful. DOES THE SUCCESS VALIDATE YOU IN SOME WAY?
