Shraddha revealed this in an interview with News 18 last year. She said, “When Stree was offered to me, they offered it to me as a cameo. They offered it to me as a special appearance. And I was just so amazed and so entertained with the premise of the movie, about having a larger social message in an entertaining way, that I asked them, you know, can we, can I be part of the cast, and actually couldn’t this be a special appearance? I want to, I don’t want to have the feeling that this is a special appearance and they completely agreed with that.”

This video has resurfaced on Reddit and has generated a lot of comments from fans of the horror-comedy franchise. Below the thread, a social media user opined, “Her character only looked like an extended cameo,” while a Rajkummar fan claimed, “It’s a real RKR film. She just keeps twirling her hair. Source: saw the movie on prime last weekend. ” Another comment read: “So she first lobbied to expand her role and changed the script. Then looked up the sequel. ”

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see Shraddha back in the house Street 3where she will hopefully reveal her character’s name to the audience.
