Know Your Star - Shraddha Kapoor

Before Aashiqui 2, Shraddha had rejected Sanjay Leela Bhansalis My Friend Pinto and YRFs Aurangzeb starring Arjun Kapoor. Needless to say, those were wise decisions she made.

As funny as it may sound, but lightning scares the hell out of Shraddha.

Her favorite book is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Yes, we are as surprised as you are.

She is the grandniece of veteran singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle. Her grandfather, the late Pandit Pandharinath was their cousin.

She comes from a mixed parentage. While her father is a Punjabi, her mums a Maharashtrian. Interestingly, the actress loves conversing in Marathi more and is open to doing Marathi films.

The seemingly delicate darling can kick some serious butt in soccer and handball. Intimidating na?

Shraddha is a drop-out from Boston University. An aspiring student of theatre studies, Shraddha dropped out to pursue her career in Bollywood.
