Shraddha Kapoor relaunched SCREEN in its brand-new digital avatar in October last year. As part of the relaunch, the Stree actor reminisced about her childhood memories with her father, veteran actor Shakti Kapoor, and her brother, Siddhanth Kapoor. During one segment, she was shown an old photograph from a get-together at their home, where Shakti was seen dancing with all the kids at the party. Talking about the photo, Shraddha fondly recalled how her father has always been “the life of the party” and how he naturally commands any room he enters. She also compared Shakti’s exuberant personality to her own, calling herself an “introvert pro max.”

Speaking to SCREEN, she said, “I have these memories of my dad being the life of the party. He has this quality that when he enters he just commands a room. With his smile and jovial personality and really funny way of being, you can see that.”

Shraddha admitted that, growing up, she was very different from her father. “I always wanted to be next to my brother, to follow him everywhere, copy his dance moves. He is a fabulous dancer. If you notice, I am not smiling in the photo. I wouldn’t smile a lot as a kid. I used to be this grumpy child, who would only be close to my mom, dada and brother. I was introvert pro max,” she said.

In an earlier interview with Filmfare, Shakti Kapoor had also spoken about Shraddha Kapoor’s personality, describing her as stubborn. “She has largely been brought up by her maternal grandparents and was also looked after by her aunts. She is their favourite and perhaps that’s why she is a little stubborn, eccentric and moody. You have to tolerate her tantrums but the good thing is that she can be cajoled easily. She is not a difficult girl but you dare not mess with her,” he had said.

On the professional front, Shraddha was last seen in the blockbuster Stree 2. The film also starred Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi in lead roles.
