Actor Shraddha
Kapoor on
Tuesday was
felicitated with
Youth Icon of
NextGen of Indian
Cinema accolade
at the 48th
International Film
Festival of India
(IFFI). Ace
filmmaker
Subhash Ghai
honoured the
actor, who joined
the movie mela to
inaugurate
Bioscope Village
a part of
ongoing IFFI in
Goa.
"I have fond memories with Goa. I have
shot two films here (Aashiqui 2 and Ek
Villain). Goa has been very warm and
friendly to our film industry. I would like to
thank each and everyone of you. I would
also like to thank IFFI for inviting me here,
Shraddha said.
The Half Girlfriend star came to the event
with her aunt and actor Padmini Kolhapure
to open the village, where films will be
screened for public through unique mobile
theatre models till November 27. Aashiqui 2
was the first film to be screened at one of
these theatres. Padmini also lauded the
effort, and interacted with the attendees in
Marathi.
Shraddha Kapoor's last few releases,
including OK Jaanu, Half Girlfriend and
Haseena Parkar, failed to elicit expected
response at the box office. But the actor is
not worried about failure and says ups and
downs are part of life. Shraddha says her
aim is to make everyone proud with her
work.
"I think that my initial films did very very
well, so anything that didn't match up to
that will be viewed as falling short. I would
love to say that the kind of love I still have
received despite my movies doing well or
not well is priceless, Shraddha said. "I
think ups and downs are part of life, and I
just hope that I keep on making people
proud.
Shraddha doesn't regret doing Haseena
Parkar based on terrorist Dawood Ibrahim's
sister Haseena Parkar. "I think you just
want to try doing something different.
Whether it does well or doesn't do well, it is
not in your hand but I wanted to try
something else, the actor said, adding that
she is consciously picking different roles.
She is also excited for the multi-lingual
action film Saaho, which also stars Prabhas.
Shraddha will also essay India's star shuttler
Saina Nehwal in a Bollywood biopic. "In
"Saaho', I will be talking in Hindi and Telugu.
I am very excited. It is challenging, I am
having so much fun.
Talking about Nehwal biopic, she said: "I
am practicing a lot. Badminton is amazing.
It makes you feel alive. Recently, I hurt my
foot so there has been a break but I will
resume soon.
