  4. Shraddha Kapoor reveals how she was asked to make the trademark Shakti Kapoor 'aaoon' sound and dance with naada hanging out of her shorts.

    Shakti Kapoor's daughter Shraddha Kapoor's debut film Teen Patti might have gone unnoticed but the actress makes a refreshing comeback this year and is here to stay. "To be honest, I was extremely bummed out with the failure of Teen Patti ", admits Shraddha. "People didn't like the film and they are entirely entitled to their opinion. But such is life!"

     "Since my first film didn't work, people were wary of casting me. Also I didn't have a fleshed out role in Teen Patti wherein people could judge me on the scale of my performance", confesses Shraddha who had hard time post Teen Patti . "Then I auditioned for this role in Y-Films and Luv Ka The End happened. It is a huge opportunity for me". Shraddha has now signed a 3-film deal with Y-Films though it's a non-exclusive agreement, meaning she can do films outside the banner as well.

     Luv Ka The End , the first film coming from Y-Films, the new division of Yash Raj Films, claims to be an anti romantic-comedy film. That sounds unusual coming from the Yash Raj stable who are known for their sugar-coated love stories. Shraddha clarifies, "To begin with Luv Ka The End has lots of romance but as it progresses it has a violent twist after which it becomes an anti rom-com. I play the character of Riya Dayal who is feminine, quirky but at the same time determined. When she learns that her boyfriend is cheating on her, initially she is heartbroken and shattered. But she gets over the rona-dhona and picks up the baseball bat to get even with him".

     So does her character have shades of Kill Bill ? "Well I never thought of it that way but now that you mention, I can actually see some common shades of violence and revenge between the two films", laughs the pretty Kapoor girl.

     Talking about her costar Taaha Shah, Shraddha says, "I enjoyed getting even with him. This being his first film, he used to bombard me with questions from shot-takings to acting to anything and everything. He was like this curious cat who had no idea about things and I was an information bank to him".


    But at the same time she learnt a lot from Taasha. "It was the climax sequence where I had trouble with this long monologue. Our film was made in a very short span of time and we didn't get enough time for rehearsals to perfect our acts. At that time Taasha helped me a lot with my lines and guided me through the entire sequence".

     Any tips that came handy from father Shakti Kapoor since she is playing a role with grey shades? "Mine is not a negative character", she is quick to defend. "The only thing that my father taught me was to be honest with my performance. But more than my father it was director Bumpy who wanted me to be real wicked while swinging the baseball bat. He always complained that I was holding the bat in a girly way".


    On a funny note Shradha adds that through the filming, she was asked to make the trademark Shakti Kapoor 'aaoon' sound a hundred times and dance with naada hanging out of her shorts. "But jokes apart I do not want my father to watch the film. Actually I haven't watched the film myself. Once I see the final film and am happy with it would I want my parents to watch it", says Shraddha.
     Is she confident enough to cut through the competition in Bollywood? "I have heard good things about the industry and I have heard bad things. But, I believe, in times when we have banners like Y-Films that are supporting new talents, there are opportunities galore for youth and the industry can accommodate everyone. So no worries!", signs off Shraddha on a positive note.

  6. Being a star child, was your childhood different compared to your friends?
    I was known to be a villain/comedian's daughter in school. My friends knew my father's films and had watched them. I was never allowed to travel by rickshaw, even under supervision, till a long, long time. It was only after throwing big tantrums and bullying my parents that I got to go for a few rides. When I was little, I wanted my own PINK rickshaw (Oh God!)
    Till the 7th Standard, I wasn't allowed to go for a single school trip. My first trip was to Matheran and I was very excited to have been granted permission after six years of pleading! But I visited my father's sets and travelled with him around the world. This used to be the most fun experience with my family.

    When did you decide to be an actress?
    Somewhere deep down, I always knew it. I fully realised it in high school when I decided to take up theatre studies. I played the role of "Sandy" in the 10th Standard in Grease; sang and acted on stage and couldn't get over the thrill it gave me even after the show was over. I felt so happy. I wanted to feel that again!

    Where did you study acting?
    I studied high school in Boston where acting was incorporated in my syllabus. Later, I learned diction and acting under Mohit Tugnait at home. For Teen Patti, we had workshops with Royston Abel and Barry John and of course, the numerous script readings and group meetings with our director Leena Yadav.

    If not an actor, what would you want to be?
    I would love to sing for my films and do a musical, but I can't see myself doing anything else right now other than acting!


    Share one interesting moment on the set of Teen Patti.
    The first time I went on a BEST bus was on the first day of the shoot. I was always curious to take a bus ride.

    You are the new Kapoor in the Bollywood. How does it feel?
    Ooo… Kapoor's is a nice surname to have, isn't it? I like being a Kapoor, though I am half Maharashtrian. The league of the Kapoors sounds mighty nice.

    Where do you see yourself in ten years from now?
    Looking back at 10 years of a great journey in this industry, smiling to myself and saying, come on 11th year! Or maybe I'll be whisked off my feet by the most handsome man, I will be madly in love... maaaybe.

    When does Shraddha Kapoor grace the big screen again?
    I can't say right now! Am supposed to learn to be secretive, so don't ask .

    Jaldi five:
    Favourite perfume: Armani Code
    Favourite actor/actress: Amitabh Bachchan, Waheeda Rehman, Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman
    Favourite novel: The Catcher in the Rye
    Favourite colour: White
    Dream role: Alice (played by Natalie Portman) in Closer

  7. In B-town where daughters are known to get a raw deal these doting dads have made their daughters dreams their own.

    B-town has had its share of star daughters. The mothers have always been very supportive and passed on some valuable survival tips to their daughters. Interestingly what's different now is that the doting dads— all of whom have acted in films and have seen the difficulties women face in the male dominated film industry— are going all out to support their betis.

    As far as daddy issues go, Shakti Kapoor takes the cake. His daughter Shraddha, a young and beautiful girl, made her debut in Leena Yadav's Teen Patti earlier this year. Question him about the role reversal among dads and he quips, “I told my daughter that I'm happy for her as Bollywood is the safest place for her to make a debut. She comes from a family of film stars. Her maasi (mother's sister) Padmini Kolhapure was an actress too. Bollywood is like a second home to her.” He adds, “Once kids grow up they do just what they want. I thought it would be best to support my daughter. In case, she ever goes through a rough phase, I will definitely know about it and be by her side.”

    Fathers fear that not supporting their daughters could be a disadvantage. They also are afraid that rather than concentrating on doing good work, their little princesses might try in vain to impress their dads. But having their father’s undying support indirectly keeps trouble at bay.
    “Shraddha has everything on a platter; money and support. She doesn't need to do films just for the money. It makes her feel emotionally stronger. It lets her concentrate on her acting and work harder. Give her a couple of years and she will be a fine actress,” says a visibly-proud Shakti.

    Like all actresses Shraddha too has to bear the brunt of alleged link-ups with her co-stars. But doting dad Shakti didn’t hesitate to spring to her defence. Another benefit of having a celebrity dad: rumours are never taken seriously. “I have told my daughter that nobody can force her into anything,” he adds. Is that because she happens to be his daughter? “Not really. The profession is very open. Whatever one does is highlighted in the news the next day,” he says.

    Best of Luck!
