Living my dream as an actress: Shraddha Kapoor

Living my dream as an actress: Shraddha Kapoor

Panaji, Nov 22 (UNI) Actress Shraddha Kapoor has said that she was living her dream as an actress and every single day was a blessing for her.

Speaking after inaugurating IFFI Next Gen Section at Bioscope Village at the ongoing 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here on Tuesday, the diva said she had fond memories of the coastal state of Goa as part of her two films 'Aashiqui 2' and 'Ek Villan' were here.

'I have very fond memories of Goa, we shot part of 'Ashiqui 2' and also 'Ek Villan'. So Goa has been very warm and friendly to our film industry. Thank you IFFI for having me here, it is really wonderful to have a Bioscope Village. As an actress, I am living my dream and every single day is a blessing.'

Later, the actress during an interview with film critic Sachine Chatte, revealed that she was introduced to acting by her father Shakti Kapoor who himself was a veteran.

Sharing her memories, the actress who began her acting career with a brief role in the 2010 heist film 'Teen Patti', said, "When my dad would go to work without moustaches and return home with moustaches, I would get fascinated to see his different get ups. I always wanted to become an actress.'

Speaking about her debut film she said most people thought that 'Ashiqui2' was her debut film but 'Teen Patti' and 'Luv Ka The End' were released much earlier.

On being benefited from being a star-daugther, Shraddha, whose recent film was action drama Baaghi (2016), said having her father in the film was no soft option to her ongoing struggle.

'People think that it is easier to get into film industry if you have a relative here but it is not. I was confirmed for many movies and then replaced by some other actress... this is a part and parcel of the industry,' the talented actress said.

On the ongoing projects, she shared that she was working on a film 'Saaho' in which she was required to speak Telugu.

She said she was also working on a biopic on badminton player Saina Nehwal.
