Remember when Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan lit up the screens in high-energy dance numbers? Their real-life connection traces back to a hilarious childhood episode where Shraddha’s backwards love note terrified the young actor.
Born March 3, 1987, in Mumbai, Shraddha was just 8 when she and Varun, playmates on a movie set with their dads, climbed a hill during a break. In a burst of kid logic, she proposed via reversal: ‘You love I’ equaling ‘I love you.’ Varun, horrified, shot back, ‘I hate girls!’ and fled the scene.
Shraddha recounted this gem in a candid YouTube interview, offering fans a peek into their innocent past. Now, with joint ventures in ABCD 2, Street Dancer 3D, and Stree 2 cameo, it’s a story that adds sweetness to their collaborations.
Professionally, Shraddha entered the fray with 2010’s Teen Patti, followed by 2011’s Luv Ka The End. Her breakthrough arrived with Mohit Suri’s Aashiqui 2, where she embodied Aarohi Shirke alongside Aditya Roy Kapur’s Rahul Jaykar – a musician whose demons lead him to uplift his love’s dreams amid heartbreak.
The film’s emotional depth fetched her accolades, paving way for diverse roles in Ek Villain, ABCD 2, Baaghi, Half Girlfriend, Stree, Chhichhore, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, and the upcoming Stree 2. This playful memory underscores Shraddha’s journey from a bold kid to a versatile star.
