This Girl Is On Fire

We’re shooting with Shraddha Kapoor after two years. So much has changed since the last time we sat down to chat with her, and yet, in a way, everything’s the same. For starters, Shraddha’s brought a guest along to this cover shoot. And we don’t mean the regular entourage celebrities roll with—you know, manager, publicist, bodyguards, spot boys, and in some cases, chefs! We’re talking about her “little baby dog, Shyloh”, a black Lhasa Apso, who’s possibly a bigger celebrity at the moment than the star in question herself. Each member of the 20-person crew is enamored by his presence. “I love hanging out with him,” Shraddha laughs. “He’s the sweetest, probably the most-distracted, but the most adorable dog,” she tells us. As Shraddha takes Shyloh around to meet everyone, we find a corner to settle down and catch up with her on everything that’s been keeping her busy.

With close to a decade in the industry, Shraddha has been part of some memorable films. But this year has been a rewarding one for her. With Saaho and Chhichhore receiving both critical and box-office acclaim, Shraddha is currently basking in the afterglow of the great projects she’s been a part of. “I’m completely over the moon. It feels amazing... But more than happy, I feel grateful that I get to be part of such movies. It’s wonderful to get so much love from the audience for the work you do,” she tells us, smiling ear-to-ear. And in the next moment, she looks down to check her phone as it buzzes with another congratulatory text.
