Shraddha Kapoor Shares Her Thoughts on Success as Stree 2 Sets New Box Office Milestones
Shraddha Kapoor is celebrating the immense success of her latest release, Stree 2, which has now become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India. In a recent cover story for Femina, the actor reflected on the film's achievement and shared her thoughts on how she views success.
Stree 2, which hit theaters on August 15, has been making waves at the box office, setting a new record with a collection of ₹586 crore, as reported by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the horror-comedy features a star-studded cast including Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. The film is the sequel to the 2018 blockbuster Stree.
In the Femina interview, Kapoor opened up about her personal understanding of success, stating, "For me, success is not defined by conventional measures. At this moment, as I speak with you, it’s about savouring a delicious meal, cherishing moments with my family, and nurturing meaningful relationships. To me, true success means having loved ones close, enjoying restful sleep, thriving in my work, balancing life, and being mentally at peace."
Kapoor also spoke about the lasting influence of her family, especially her father, veteran actor Shakti Kapoor. "It’s amazing to see my dad and aunt still giving their all, never getting complacent – that’s deeply inspiring to me. Their generation approached their careers with a level of commitment that I truly admire. My dad’s stories remind me not to take anything for granted, and that keeps me grounded," she shared.
In addition to her cinematic success, Shraddha Kapoor recently achieved another milestone by becoming the most-followed Indian actor on Instagram. Reflecting on this, she expressed her gratitude, saying, "I’m deeply grateful for the love and support. It feels like I have a massive group of friends out there. When I receive such personal reactions from my audience, it means everything to me."
As Stree 2 continues to captivate audiences, Kapoor's reflections on success and her grounded approach to fame provide a glimpse into her personal journey, as she basks in the glow of both critical and commercial acclaim.
