Shraddha Kapoor’s 12 year long career started with Teen Patti, and a few films later, she met with stardom courtesy Aashiqui 2. And the one change she has observed ever since, is that female actors have it better now.

Actor Shraddha Kapoor will be seen next in director Luv Ranjan’s untitled film with actor Ranbir Kapoor.

“A lot of things have changed since I started off, especially for female actors. Now we see films made from a female gaze, with the actress being the driving point of the story. Not only are women headlining many films and stories but they are also written in a deeply layered manner, which can create an impact. It’s a great time for women in Indian cinema,” says the 35-year-old.

Kapoor will be seen next in Luv Ranjan’s directorial opposite actor Ranbir Kapoor. While she says that there is nothing at all she would want to change about her career, her biggest learning so far has been this, “One lesson that I hold close to myself is — change is the only constant. As an actor, one has to always keep changing, evolving, learning and unlearning. As an actor, I just want to keep bettering myself as a person, keep bettering myself from who I was yesterday, and want to make the world a wee bit better.”
