Why Shraddha Kapoor Receiving Public Backlash? Find Out

by
Shraddha Kapoor
  • Shraddha Kapoor has become the subject of criticism.
  • Social media users have labeled her “overhyped.”
  • Many Reddit users questioned her acting skills.

The success of lead actress Shraddha Kapoor is a topic of discussion as “Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank” becomes a box office sensation. After the movie’s release, Kapoor surpassed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to become the third most followed Indian celebrity on Instagram. Some attribute her rise to her relatable and innocent nature, while others conjecture that her popularity is the result of relentless PR efforts and morbid curiosity.

Many have criticized Kapoor on social media for being overhyped and cringe. In a previous interview with Zoom, co-star Aparshakti Khurana acknowledged the role of PR, stating, “See this is a PR game. If your channel goes and asks the audience, the original audience on street, are they saying this? I want to know that. So, this is a PR game, I don’t want to comment on it.”

Users on social platforms express strong opinions, with one remarking, “Bad actress, hides behind a good relatable girl image but is really shady (PR). She’s just extremely cringe for me, tbh.”

Dissecting Kapoor’s performances, comments on Reddit question her acting skills. One user noted, “Only potential to play love interest…she’s not a great actress,” while another added, “Her dialogue delivery is horrendous.” These mixed reactions from netizens have raised questions regarding whether Shraddha is a good actress or just achieved this place in Bollywood with the use of good PR tactics.

Pakistan reports second polio case of 2025

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has reported the 24th polio case of the year as the country grapples with a poliovirus outbreak that is threatening children’s wellbeing and has prompted urgent appeals from high-level health authorities for parents and caregivers to ensure vaccination of all children in their care.

The latest child to be affected by this paralytic disease is a 29-month-old boy in Hyderabad district of Sindh province, the Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health notified on Friday.

This is the second polio case to be reported from Hyderabad where a case was earlier reported in August. Pakistan has now reported 24 polio cases in 2024 out of which 15 from Balochistan, five from Sindh, two from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.

Expressing sadness at the increasing number of paralytic polio cases, Prime Minister’s Focal Person for Polio Eradication Ms Ayesha Raza Farooq has called on parents and communities to fulfil their duty of care and make sure that polio vaccination is given as a priority for children.

“Polio has no cure, yet it is entirely preventable with the help of an easily accessible vaccine that the government provides to families at their doorsteps,” she said. “As parents, grandparents, guardians and communities, we have a moral and religious responsibility towards our children to ensure that they have every opportunity to live their life in the best of health.”

She added: “Poliovirus will not discriminate. It will attack any vulnerable child it finds anywhere. We must urgently ensure that every child under our care is repeatedly receiving the polio vaccine and has received all doses of routine immunization so that they are strong enough to fight off polio.”

The Pakistan Polio Programme is implementing a comprehensive roadmap to stem the spread of the virus and interrupt its transmission by mid-2025.
