The actress who refused to debut in a Salman Khan film is…

Shraddha Kapoor, daughter of Shakti Kapoor became the biggest star of the year, thanks to the box office success of Stree 2. In an old interview with Shraddha, she revealed that at the age of 16 she was offered the lead role opposite Salman Khan in the film Luck: No Time for Love (2005). However, Shraddha rejected the offer and five years later she debuted with Teen Patti (2010).

Why did Shraddha reject Salman Khan’s film?

While speaking to Hindustan Times, Shraddha said, “I felt that at 15 or 16 I was too young and I wanted to finish school and attend college. I don’t think getting offers at that time defined my success. But it was difficult to turn down and focus on the studies because it was a fantastic opportunity to work with Salman Khan.”

Shraddha Kapoor had a dull start in Bollywood

Shraddha Kapoor’s debut film Teen Patti was a critical and commercial failure. After a disappointing start, Shraddha was seen in other forgettable films including Luv Ka The End. Only in 2013 did Shraddha finally taste success with the box office hit Aashiqui 2.

In 2024, Shraddha Kapoor in collaboration with Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee and Pankaj Tripathi gave the biggest box office hit of the year, Stree 2. Released in theaters on August 15, 2024, Stree 2 grossed over Rs 856 million in everyone.
