The story of Shraddha Kapoor coming into films is very interesting. Despite being the daughter of Bollywood’s top villain, Shakti Kapoor, she landed her first role through Facebook. Actually, filmmaker Ambika Hinduja saw Shraddha Kapoor's pictures on Facebook and contacted her. This is how Shraddha got her first film 'Teen Patti'. Amitabh Bachchan was in the lead role in this film, but even after this the film flopped at the box office and Shraddha could not get any special recognition.
If we talk about Shraddha Kapoor's career, then 'Aashiqui 2' gave a new direction to her career. Aditya Roy Kapoor was seen in the lead role with Shraddha in this film directed by Mohit Suri. This film and its songs became superhit. The film collected more than 100 crores at the box office. After this film, Shraddha's career began to soar.
Shraddha Kapoor is a great actress as well as a great singer. She surprised everyone by singing the superhit song 'Teri Galiyan' from 'Ek Villain'. Her passion for singing is not a coincidence—very few people know that she shares a deep connection with the legendary Lata Mangeshkar. Shraddha's maternal grandfather was a cousin of late Lata Mangeshkar, making Shraddha her grand-niece.
