Shraddha Kapoor, whose Stree 2 has become the highest grossing Hindi film of all time, spoke about box office success, her journey as an actress and her father Shakti Kapoor during the NDTV World Summit in Delhi on Monday. The 37-year-old actress shared that she always turns to her father for professional advice, having known his tenacity and grit while negotiating the film industry. "When people come up to me and say, "We are big fans of your father, it's another feeling altogether. My father didn't come from a film family. He has come from Delhi, it's his home. I have spent a large part of my childhood here," Shraddha reminisced.

Talking about Shakti Kapoor's passion for acting, Shraddha said, "He had no background. He studied in an acting school after he told his parents that he wanted to be an actor. My grandfather had a clothing shop. He asked him to work in a travel agency. But he followed his heart. He pursued his dream. From time to time, he inquires about my shoots. I ask him before I sign a film. I have tremendous respect for him. He's someone who made from the scratch. His stories are always inspiring."

Amidst ongoing conflicts in Europe and West Asia, India has emerged as a responsible global power, adeptly navigating complex international relations and offering leadership.

In this transformative era, the world turns to India for guidance. It is within this context that NDTV proudly presents its flagship event, NDTV World Summit 2024 – The India Century, scheduled for October 21st and 22nd.
