When I turned down an offer to do a movie with Salman Khan

Shraddha Kapoor has established herself as a leading lady in Hindi cinema. She is best known for her portrayal of Arohi in Mohi.
Shraddha Kapoor, who was last seen in the film ‘Tu Jyoti Mein Makar’ alongside Ranbir Kapoor, has a huge fan following in India. Even though she has appeared in fewer films in recent years, her fan base continues to grow and she has surpassed even Bollywood divas such as Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon.


As Shraddha Kapoor celebrates her first birthday today, we bring you a little-known backstory about the time she turned down a job offer with Salman Khan. She was around 15-16 years old when she was offered the female lead role in the film Lucky: Not Time for Love, co-starring Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.


Talking about the incident in an interview, Shraddha said, “When I was 15 or 16 years old, I felt that I was too young and wanted to complete my schooling and go to university. But it was a great opportunity to work with Salman Khan, so it was difficult for me to turn it down and focus on my studies.”


Before making her Bollywood debut with the film Teen Patti in 2010, Shraddha went abroad for her undergraduate education. She enrolled in college in Boston. At that time, Shraddha was working at a famous chain coffee shop to earn some extra money.


Although many believe that ‘Aashiqui 2’ was her first film, her debut in Bollywood was ‘Teen Patti’ which did not do well at the box office. Then she appeared in ‘Luv Ka The End’ but even that movie failed to impress the audience. It was Mahesh Bhatt who offered her the opportunity to work opposite Aditya Roy Kapur in the sequel of Ashiqui in 2013, which became her first commercial success. The film brought her wide acclaim and earned her numerous nominations. Since then, Shraddha has appeared in films like ‘Ek Villain’, ‘ABCD 2’ and ‘Baaghi’, which established her status as a leading actress. Despite facing setbacks in several films, she went on to achieve notable successes such as the comedy-horror ‘Street’, the action-thriller ‘Saaho’, the comedy-drama ‘Chhichhore’ and the romantic comedy ‘Tu Jyoti’. It has carved out a niche position in the industry. Main Makkal”.
