Mumbai: Amid growing scrutiny on social media, Shraddha Kapoor has opened up about her approach to handling criticism and online trolling, revealing that she prefers not to engage with negative comments.
The actress made the remarks during a recent Instagram Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, where a fan asked her how she usually deals with criticism.
Responding with her trademark humour, Shraddha said she barely manages to keep up with her everyday phone notifications, let alone online criticism.
She said, “I actually don’t handle criticism. What’s there to handle in that? I can’t even handle my WhatsApp. I don’t even have a manager, nor am I affiliated with any agency. My friends, directors and producers keep scolding me for not checking my phone.”
Emphasising that her priority is to focus on her work, the actress added, “I’m not interested in handling any criticism. All I want to do is work, and more and more work. That’s it.”
Shraddha Kapoor’s recent response to a fan asking “How do you usually handle criticism?” shows pure maturity and simplicity: Okay, so this is a very important question, ‘How do you handle criticism?
I actually don’t handle criticism. What is there to handle in it? Man, I can’t even handle my WhatsApp, I don’t have a manager, nor am I with any agency. My friends, directors and producers keep scolding me saying, You don’t even check your phone.
So I don’t have to handle any criticism. I just have to work, work more, work even more, and just keep working.
While most of Bollywood is busy giving fake attitude, holding grudges and getting offended over small things, Shraddha shows what real grace looks like. Bollywood actors really need to learn some humility, maturity and focus from her! Zero drama, zero hate and pure dedication that’s why she stands out from the rest! ❤️✨
