Shraddha Kapoor’s last few releases, including OK Jaanu, Half Girlfriend and Haseena Parkar, failed to elicit a favourable response from audiences. But the actress is not worried about failure and says ups and downs are part of life.
Kapoor began her Bollywood journey with films such as Teen Patti and Luv Ka The End, but made it big with Aashiqui 2. She followed it up with success of Ek Villain, ABCD 2, Haider and Baaghi.
“I think that my initial films did very very well, so anything that didn’t match up to that will be viewed as falling short. I would love to say that the kind of love I still have received despite my movies doing well or not well is priceless,” Kapoor said.
“I think ups and downs are part of life, and I just hope that I keep on making people proud,” she added.
The daughter of actor Shakti Kapoor talked about her career when she inaugurated Bioscope Village, as part of the ongoing 48th International Film Festival of India (Iffi), in Goa.
Kapoor doesn’t regret doing Haseena Parkar, based on Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar.
“I think you just want to try doing something different. Whether it does well or doesn’t do well, it is not in your hand but I wanted to try something else,” the actress said, adding that she is consciously picking different roles.
She is also excited for the multi-lingual action film Saaho, which also stars Prabhas. Kapoor will also play India’s star badminton player Saina Nehwal in a Bollywood biopic.
“In Saaho, I will be talking in Hindi and Telugu. I am very excited. It is challenging, I am having so much fun,” she said.
Talking about the Nehwal biopic, Kapoor said: “I am practicing a lot. Badminton is amazing. It makes you feel alive. Recently, I hurt my foot so there has been a break but I will resume soon.”
