Shraddha Kapoor turns 38: From refusing a movie with Salman Khan to working in coffee shop for pocket money

Shraddha Kapoor celebrates her 38th birthday today. Although she looks very young, fresh, and beautiful, it is unbelievable that she has been in Bollywood for almost 15 years. Currently, she is basking in the glory of success after Stree 2 became the biggest hit of 2024.

Shraddha Kapoor was offered the lead role in the Salman Khan movie

Since she is the daughter of Shakti Kapoor, Shraddha has always been a part of the Bollywood fraternity. She grew up with other star kids like Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan, and Tiger Shroff. That is why most of the B-town filmmakers knew about her.

Salman Khan, Shraddha Kapoor

So when she turned 15-16 years old, a filmmaker offered her a female lead role opposite Salman Khan in a movie titled Lucky: No Time for Love. At that time Salman was a big superstar and it was a dream come true for many aspiring actresses to star opposite him. However, Shraddha Kapoor wanted to complete her schooling first and hence said no to this offer.

Shraddha worked in a coffee shop in Boston

Before becoming an actress the Stree actress first did a part-time job in a coffee shop of a prominent chain in Boston where she was attending college. It was her attempt at gaining some experience, earning a bit of pocket money (though she was not any need of money), and also living an autonomous life.

She is a classically trained singer

Loves gardening, dislikes horror and lightening

Like everyone Shraddha Kapoor loves rain. But when lightning strikes she runs inside her home as she is afraid of it. The Aashiqui 2 actress once shared that although she used to watch horror movies a lot earlier, she still gets easily startled.

For her gardening is her passion and at home in her garden she loves growing hibiscus, roses, aloe vera, bougainvilleas, mogra, money plants, and others.
