Shraddha Kapoor, the beautiful daughter of menacing on screen villain Shakti Kapoor, is all kicked about her debut venture, Teen Patti. She plays a confident Aparna Khanna who helps a group of gamblers spearheaded by Amitabh Bachchan. But what's giving her chills is the realization that she shared screen space with two legends Bachchan and Ben Kingsley in the movie. She still can't believe that she got unanimously selected from the auditions she gave.
"It's a blessing, that's what I will say. We must have done something very good in our life that we got this chance to start our careers with two phenomenal human beings. I still pinch myself sometimes to actually believe that yes, I am in the movie with Mr. Bachchan. So the feeling is heavenly," says an animated Shraddha.
Talking about her role, Shraddha says, "Aparna is a very quiet person. She's inherently determined to get what she wants. In Teen Patti, she's after her heart. She realises in the film that the betrayal she probably will face from her lover is nothing compared to the betrayal she will go through due to the game."

Shraddha Kapoor like other debutantes in the film went through a rigorous acting sessions from Barry Jones. As Sharddha fondly recollects, Leena Yadav, the director of the movie was with them 24/7. So did you learn Teen Patti? "Of course we did. All of us learnt the game. We played the game for three months. The game is difficult. You have to follow your instincts and put up a brave face even if you are losing. I also won a few games which I am sure I did by fluke," chuckles Shraddha.
