Shraddha Kapoor, daughter of veteran actor Shakti Kapoor, played a big role in reviving Bollywood during its tough times in 2024. Her film Stree 2 was a huge hit, earning Rs 857.15 crore worldwide. It became the third-highest-grossing Indian film and the top Hindi film of the year. Known for balancing intense and funny roles, Shraddha is also loved for her quirky personality off-screen.
Her father, Shakti Kapoor, once described her as “stubborn, eccentric, and moody” but also easy to cajole. “She has largely been brought up by her maternal grandparents and was also looked after by her aunts. She is their favourite and perhaps that’s why she is a little stubborn, eccentric and moody. You have to tolerate her tantrums but the good thing is that she can be cajoled easily. She is not a difficult girl but you dare not mess with her,” Shakti had said in a 2014 Filmfare interview.
Shakti Kapoor shared that Shraddha Kapoor dislikes rude behaviour and values politeness. “If you happen to upset her, she locks herself in the room and stays inside for hours. Her moods can turn the house upside down! Even as a child, she disliked loud and abusive people,” he added. Talking about her spending habits, Shakti joked, “Handling her finances is not difficult as she earns two pennies and spends eight. She is a spendthrift. For a Rs 70 hamburger, she gives a tip of Rs 100. Also, she doesn’t believe in bargaining.”
He also shared the advice he gave Shraddha about relationships. “We have not put any ban on Shraddha; we know as she is young and will have boyfriends. But, I caution her, ‘Don’t cheat anyone and don’t get cheated either!’”
Shraddha Kapoor is rumoured to be dating Rahul Mody. The rumours began earlier in 2024 after they were spotted together at several events. Shraddha even attended a friend’s wedding with Rahul, further fueling speculation. Rahul Mody, a screenwriter and assistant director, worked on Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, a film starring Shraddha alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
