Aashiqui 2 (2013)

Shraddha Kapoor’s big breakthrough came with Aashiqui 2, opposite Aditya Roy Kapur. The film told the tragic love story of Aarohi and Rahul, two musicians whose lives are bound by music and heartbreak. Shraddha played Aarohi, a small-town girl with a voice full of hope and innocence. Her performance was beautifully honest, simple, emotional, and full of sincerity.

The film was a massive hit, and people instantly connected with her soft-spoken, graceful character. This movie cemented her place in Bollywood as the new face of romance.

Ek Villain (2014)

A year later, Shraddha impressed again with Ek Villain, alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh. She played Aisha, a cheerful young woman who sees beauty in every moment of life. Her positive outlook becomes the emotional centre of this dark and intense revenge drama. Shraddha brought a bright warmth to the film, balancing the dark tone with her light-hearted energy. Her chemistry with Sidharth was a major talking point, and audiences loved the emotional depth she added. Songs like Galliyan became huge hits, and her portrayal showed she could shine even in male-dominated thrillers.

Baaghi (2016)

By the time Baaghi released, Shraddha Kapoor had already proved she could handle romantic and emotional roles, but this film showed her action side. Starring opposite Tiger Shroff, she played Sia, a passionate and fearless young woman caught in a web of love and violence. The movie was packed with action, but Shraddha held her own, matching Tiger’s energy and bringing charm to the high-octane story. Her chemistry with Tiger was one of the film’s biggest highlights. Baaghi became a commercial success and gave her a chance to experiment with a more physically demanding role while maintaining her signature emotional depth.

Ok Jaanu (2017)

In Ok Jaanu, Shraddha reunited with Aditya Roy Kapur, creating magic once again. A remake of the Tamil hit O Kadhal Kanmani, the film explored modern relationships and the idea of love without commitment. Shraddha played Tara, a young, independent architect with big dreams and a carefree attitude toward relationships. Her performance was breezy, relatable, and modern, perfectly reflecting the millennial spirit. She looked effortless on screen, and her chemistry with Aditya was as heartwarming as it was in Aashiqui 2. The film’s music, especially Enna Sona and The Humma Song, added to the charm. Shraddha proved she could portray modern love stories with ease and emotion.

Haseena Parkar (2017)

 
This film marked a complete shift in Shraddha Kapoor’s career. In Haseena Parkar, she took on the challenging role of Dawood Ibrahim’s sister, Haseena, a strong, complex woman from Mumbai’s underworld. It was a daring choice that showed Shraddha’s willingness to step outside her comfort zone. She underwent a major transformation, both in appearance and acting style. Her portrayal was intense and layered, revealing a darker, more mature side of her talent. While the film received mixed reviews, critics praised Shraddha for taking risks and showing that she could handle serious, powerful characters.

Stree (2018)

Stree was a turning point, a horror-comedy that became one of the biggest surprise hits of the year. Starring alongside Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha played a mysterious woman in a small town haunted by a female ghost. Her character kept everyone guessing till the end, and her calm, enigmatic performance added to the film’s suspense. The movie perfectly balanced humor and horror, and Shraddha’s subtle performance was a huge part of its charm. Fans loved seeing her in a film that was both entertaining and clever. Stree not only made audiences laugh and scream but also earned her praise for choosing unique, offbeat projects.

Chhichhore (2019)

In Chhichhore, Shraddha Kapoor joined an ensemble cast led by Sushant Singh Rajput. The film was a heartwarming story about friendship, college life, and the pressures of success. Shraddha played Maya, the calm and compassionate presence among a group of energetic friends. Her performance was understated yet deeply emotional, especially in the scenes that dealt with parenting and loss. The film struck a chord with viewers for its beautiful message about failure and resilience. Chhichhore went on to win the National Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, and Shraddha’s role was widely appreciated for its warmth and sensitivity.

From playing the innocent singer in Aashiqui 2 to the mysterious woman in Stree and the mature Maya in Chhichhore, Shraddha Kapoor has grown with every film. What makes her special is her ability to connect with audiences. She feels real, relatable, and always fresh.

Whether she’s singing her own songs, dancing her heart out, or trying bold new roles, Shraddha continues to be one of Bollywood’s most loved actresses. Her journey shows that with talent, hard work, and a bit of sparkle, you can win hearts.
