Shraddha
Kapoor,
who
began
her
Bollywood
journey
with
films
like
Teen
Patti
and
Luv
Ka
The
End,
made
it
big
only
with
Aashiqui
2.
The
actress,
who
is
loving
all
the
attention
she's
getting
with
her
latest
release
Ek
Villain,
says
she
has
no
regrets
about
her
past
choices.
In
an
interview,
the
young
actress
speaks
about
her
journey,
her
films
and
future
plans:
Ek
Villain
has
got
huge
attention
from
the
public
and
the
press.
What
were
your
feelings
about
the
film?
I
was
more
excited
and
nervous
about
Ek
Villain
than
Aashiqui
2.
The
buzz
after
the
promos
was
very
strong.
The
director
Mohit
Suri
and
I
both
had
to
prove
ourselves
after
Aashiqui
2.
So
isn't
that
good?
It's
wonderful!
My
only
regret
is,
I've
found
myself
cut
off
from
my
family.
I'm
in
and
out
of
my
house
with
barely
time
for
a
hug
for
my
parents.
I
communicate
with
them
more
on
the
phone
than
in
person.
Every
time
I
am
out
of
the
house,
I
get
a
hug
from
my
parents,
saying
they
are
proud
of
me.
That
keeps
me
going
through
the
whole
day.
Just
to
see
them
glowing
with
pride
when
they
look
at
me
is
my
biggest
reward.
Every
child
wants
to
make
her
parents
proud.
If
I
have
succeeded,
I
am
blessed.
To
see
them
smile,
makes
my
day.
Aashiqui
2
was
almost
like
a
debut
film
for
you.
So
Ek
Villain
was
crucial?
Yes,
if
you
look
at
it
that
way
then
yes,
Ek
Villain
is
like
the
post-debut
film.
But
I
did
three
films
before
Aashiqui
2.
And
I
am
proud
of
all
of
them.
If
I
hadn't
made
my
debut
in
Leena
Yadav's
Teen
Patti,
I
wouldn't
have
done
Aashiqui
2.
Teen
Patti
gave
me
a
taste
of
failure.
Then
followed
all
the
rejections.
I
was
replaced
in
some
films.
Of
course
a
lot
more
people
saw
me
in
Aashiqui
2
than
Teen
Patti.
I
had
a
fab
role
in
it.
My
character
in
Aashiqui
2
got
me
so
much
attention.
How
different
was
it
working
in
Ek
Villain
as
compared
with
Aashiqui
2?
In
Aashiqui
2,
we
were
one
small
family
working
hard
to
make
a
name.
That
film
changed
our
lives
on
one
Friday.
It
made
you
affluent?
If
you
mean
money-wise,
then
I
am
just
getting
there.
Though
I've
to
admit
in
Aashiqui
2,
I
wasn't
paid
anything
close
to
what
I
got
for
Ek
Villain
(laughs).
Emotionally,
"Aashiqui
2" made
me
very
rich.
And
that's
the
best
wealth
money
can't
buy.
Suddenly
you've
come
into
your
own?
I
am
grateful
for
what
I've
received
after
Aashiqui
2.
After
the
first
flops,
I
could've
disappeared.
Nowadays,
I
love
the
way
my
name
comes
up
in
projects.
But
I
don't
get
flattered
when
my
name
is
announced
without
my
confirming
the
projects.
Premature
announcements
tend
to
confuse
the
trade.
It
also
creates
ill-will
and
bad
blood.
I
am
not
one
for
false
news
reports
at
all.
Good
or
bad,
untrue
reports
embarrass
me,
no
matter
how
flattering.
And
gossip
about
my
personal
life
just
makes
me
so
sad.
They
are
so
unfounded.
You
are
very
particular
about
your
image?
And
why
not?
I
would
like
to
be
known
for
being
someone
who
says
and
does
things
that
she
means.
So
before
you
ask,
the
only
forthcoming
projects
that
are
certain
are
Vishal
Bhardwaj's
Haider
and
Remo
D'Souza's
ABCD
2".
I'll
be
shooting
ABCD
2
in
Las
Vegas.
