She may play a half girlfriend but she’s a complete actress. Shraddha Kapoor has seen the ups and downs in her career early.Hence no amount of box-office drama can distract her from her goal.
She enchanted audiences with Aashiqui 2 but quickly found her feet in more gritty fare like Haider. She even broke the mould of the girl-next-door by kicking up a martial arts storm with Tiger Shroff in Baaghi. Of late, her films Rock On 2 and Ok Jaanu haven’t quite set the marquee on fire, but her recent release, Half Girlfriend has been in the buzz since its launch in 2016. Shraddha’s the veritable contemporary movie star. She’s got a league of fans and a no-nonsense approach to her career. Not the party animal, not the glossy babe, this young girl is happy writing poetry and dabbling with the paintbrush when away from the arclights. While romantic link-ups continue to add mystique to her child woman persona, a spate of challenging roles lined up only endorse that she’s an actor in progress…
What makes Half Girlfriend a special outing?
It’s the first time I’m playing the title role. It’s an intense love story. It’s not the usual girl-next-door role. I’m playing the rich Riya Somani. She wears branded clothes, moves in luxury cars and attends college with blow-dried hair. People assume she’s the happiest girl in the world as she has everything. But it’s not like that. She finds joy in simple things. Like she loves getting drenched in the first showers. That’s why she falls in love with Madhav (Arjun Kapoor). He can’t converse in English but she loves his simplicity.
What’s the equation you share with Arjun Kapoor?
