Shraddha Kapoor has opened up about her approach to criticism and social media trolling, making it clear that she has little interest in responding to negative comments. The actress said she would rather concentrate on her career and take up more projects than spend time addressing online reactions. Her comments come amid criticism of her Marathi accent and dialogue delivery in the trailer of her upcoming film ‘Eetha’.
Shraddha Kapoor on dealing with criticism
In a recent Ask Me Anything session on Instagram, Shraddha Kapoor was asked how she handles criticism. Instead of offering a conventional response, the actress spoke about how difficult she finds it to keep up with messages and notifications on her phone.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.”
Work matters more than online reactions
Shraddha further explained that professional opportunities remain her primary concern. Rather than getting caught up in social media discussions, she wants to focus on doing more work and exploring new projects.“I’m not interested in handling any criticism. All I want to do is work, and more and more work. That’s it.”The actress has previously maintained a relatively lighthearted public approach to social media interactions. Her latest remarks reflect her preference for keeping her attention on her profession instead of allowing negative reactions to occupy her time.
Why ‘Eetha’ has sparked debate

She earned recognition for her contribution to Lavani and Tamasha, two performance forms closely associated with the state’s cultural identity.Playing a personality with such a significant legacy presents a particular challenge for an actor.
