Amaal Mallik reveals he had crush on Shraddha Kapoor in school days
Revealing that Shraddha was his senior in school, Amaal spoke about what drew him to her back then. “Shraddha school mein bhi dentures pehen ke aati thi, meri senior thi. Meri school ki crush thi aur insaan bhi itni sweetheart. Poore internet pe sabse asli following uss ladki ki hai, bina kuch kiye. Na koi nakli followers na kuch,” he shared, praising her authenticity and down-to-earth nature.
(Translation: Shraddha used to come to school wearing dentures; she was my senior. She was my school crush and such a sweetheart. She has the most genuine following on the entire internet, without doing anything-no fake followers or anything like that.)
Amaal praises Shraddha’s performance in Aashiqui 2, Stree 2
The composer also applauded Shraddha’s career growth, specifically mentioning Aashiqui 2 as the turning point that elevated her to stardom. He went on to talk about her appearance in the upcoming film Stree 2, opening up on a particular scene that had audiences clapping in theatres. “Uska ek scene hai where she arrives and the hair, choti se maarti hai sabko… taaliyan hai theatres main,” he added, clearly impressed by her screen presence. (There’s a scene where she arrives, and with just a simple braid, she stuns everyone… the audience applauds in the theatres.)
Shraddha, known for her relatable charm and massive organic fanbase, continues to be one of the most loved actresses in the industry, both for her acting and her grounded personality.
