DYK Stree 2 star Shraddha Kapoor once rejected a film opposite Salman Khan? Here's the reason
Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor, is generating a lot of buzz in theatres. Amar Kaushik's film is the sequel to their 2018 smash blockbuster, Stree, and it also stars Rajkummar Rao. Beginning her filmy career with 2010's Teen Patti, Shraddha's portrayal in Aashiqui 2 won over critics and fans alike, solidifying her position as a beloved actress. Did you know, however, that Shraddha once offered a film starring Salman Khan?
Shraddha Kapoor mentioned that she was approached for playing the lead role in the 2005 film Lucky: No Time for Love, but Sneha Ullal was cast instead. In a previous interview with Hindustan Times, Shraddha revealed that she was just 16 when she was offered the movie opposite Salman Khan. It's the same movie that, despite being a flop, made Sneha famous, especially due to her resemblance to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. So why did Kapoor turn down the offer? Well, we have covered the same in this piece of entertainment news.
In the interview, Shraddha Kapoor revealed that she turned down the part opposite Salman Khan so that she could concentrate on her education. Kapoor always wanted to be an actress, yet she turned down the part as she wanted to graduate high school and complete her college education. The ABCD 2 actress also thought that she was too young when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. Further, Shraddha acknowledged the difficulty of turning down the chance to collaborate with Salman and revealed that receiving offers at such a young age did not constitute a measure of her achievement.
Talking about Aashiqui 2, the musical romantic drama made Shraddha Kapoor an overnight sensation. She starred alongside Aditya Roy Kapur in it and the duo became nation's favourite on-screen couple in no time. Along with this, some of her other popular movies are ABCD 2, Stree, Ek Villain, Baaghi 3, Chhichhore, etc.
