Shraddha Kapoor fans attacked Stree 2 co-star Aparshakti Khurrana after his ‘PR game’ remark; Actor says ‘I didn’t get abused, but…’

As a seasoned observer of the dynamic world of Bollywood, I find myself empathizing deeply with Aparshakti Khurana in this situation. The pressures and pitfalls of navigating through the complexities of public opinion are not unfamiliar to me.


Actor Aparshakti Khurana found himself in a tricky situation after his remark about “playing public relations” following Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s success with Stree 2. More recently, the actor disclosed that it wasn’t Shraddha’s fans who abused him, but instead they asserted that the film was rightfully hers.

While conversing with Shubhankar Mishra, Aparshakti Khurana admitted that he felt melancholic before their chat, as the topic of the Kolkata rape case was brought up. He also acknowledged that Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao are the central figures in the film, so it’s only natural for them to receive most of the recognition.

It was pointed out that the actress has a huge following on social media platforms, with an incredible fanbase. This popularity, he believes, stems from her authentic and effortless demeanor, as she comes across as humble and genuine.

He found himself in an awkward situation. If he genuinely regretted it, he wouldn’t have spoken up. Instead, what started as a small matter escalated dramatically, he explained. Moreover, he openly expressed his deep affection for everyone involved in the movie production.

As a devoted follower, I’d like to share a sentiment expressed by Khurana: The film wasn’t just owned by the lead actors, but it belonged to everyone involved in its creation – from the lighting crew to the cameraperson. In hindsight, his words may have been misleading, but at that moment, they struck a nerve with me.

When asked if he faced abuse on social media for his statement, Aparshakti clarified, “I wasn’t abused, but I did receive comments such as, ‘The film belongs to Shraddha.’ He went on to say that it’s alright if the audience feels this way, they must be correct.

As an ardent follower, let me clarify for those who may be unfamiliar: During a Zoom interview after the triumph of Stree 2, Aparshakti addressed the friendly rivalry between fans of both stars. He stated, “To be honest, this is more of a public relations game. If you were to ask the genuine audience on the street about it, would they feel the same? I’m curious to know their perspective. So, this is a PR game, and I prefer not to engage in it. I hold each actor from my film in high regard. I have a special bond with them. In this joyous period where our film has received so much affection and prosperity, such comments might seem somewhat disheartening.
