As per the reports from Indian media outlets, Shraddha Kapoor was offered the main role in Salman Khan’s ‘Lucky: No Time For Love’, when she was only 16, and still studying, but she rejected the great opportunity, solely to focus on her studies.
Speaking about the same in an earlier interview, Kapoor said, ” I felt that at the age of 15 or 16, I was too young and wanted to finish schooling and attend college. I don’t think to get offers back then has defined my success.”
“But it was difficult to turn it down and focus on studies because it was such a fantastic opportunity to work with Salman Khan,” she confessed.
Notably, Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru’s romance flick ‘Lucky: No Time For Love’ eventually starred Sneha Ullal in her big Bollywood debut, opposite Salman Khan and Mithun Chakraborty.
The title opened to mixed reviews from the critics and recorded decent earnings at the Box Office.
Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor made her on-screen debut in Leena Yadav’s thriller ‘Teen Patti’ among the ensemble cast with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley, R. Madhavan, Raima Sen, Mahesh Manjrekar and Tinnu Anand.
However, her breakthrough came a couple of years later in the romance musical, ‘Aashiqui 2’.
