One year ago Shraddha had 5 million less followers than Deepika and 10M less than Priyanka on Instagram. Now, she is all set to cross Deepika in a few days and Priyanka in a few months.
Interestingly Shraddha has no other associations that may help her gain followers. For eg., Priyanka's Nick Jonas connection helped her get an additional set of followers, Deepika's Ranveer connection helped her too. But Shraddha has no such association that benefited her. No fancy rumours or link-ups. No high-profile relationships. Personal life is very much low-profile. She is solely on her own.
Shraddha, despite being an insider, has the support of those who hate the nepo kids. Which is fair, because she did not get a great launchpad. Her debut film was a flop film Teen Patti where she had a bit role. She didn't get a fancy producer to launch her.
She came up the hard way. Her father has a poor reputation in the industry, for being a sleazebag and a B-grade film hero, so I doubt many wanted to be associated with her back then. She has said she had to give a painful number of auditions just to land a role in a film. She was also replaced in many films at the last minute. So her struggle is closer to that of an outsider than a starkid.
Here's to Shraddha Kapoor. She started in 2010, and she has finally conquered the top spot in 2020.
