2. After an inglorious career start in Teen Patti, Shraddha was shown the door out of several projects including Sanjay Leela Bhansali's My Friend Pinto. Pinito's leading man Prateik Babbar took Shraddha to Bhansali. She was chosen and then rejected in favour of Kalki Koechlin.

3. Years later, after Aashiqui 2 and stardom, she all but signed Sanjay Bhansali's Gabbar Is Back and then backed out, citing dates as a reason. But was it sweet revenge?

4. Did Aashiqui 2 against all odds. Was offered Yashraj Films' Aurangzeb at the same time. Turned it down as she didn't want to adhere to the Aditya Chopra School Of Bikini Stardom. The role she turned down went to Salma Agha's daughter Sasha .The rest, as they say, is hysteria.

6. Father Shakti Kapoor and mother Shivangi wanted Shraddha to pursue studies. But Shraddha was determined to be an actress.

9. Shraddha Kapoor did guest appearances in two Karan Johar productions Gori Tere Pyar Mein and Ungli in the hope of landing up a lead role. Silly girl, Didn't she see what happened to Katrina Kaif even after Chikni Chameli? Special appearances don't lead to leads in Johar's world.
