Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor has addressed the online criticism of her Marathi accent and dialogue delivery in her upcoming film ‘Eetha’, saying she prefers to focus on work rather than engage with negativity, according to NDTV.
During a recent Instagram Ask Me Anything session, a fan asked how she handles criticism. Shraddha replied, “I actually don’t handle criticism. What is there to handle in that? I can’t even handle my WhatsApp.”
The actress also revealed that she rarely checks her phone and does not have a manager or agency representing her. She added that her friends, directors and producers often scold her for being difficult to reach.
Shraddha said she does not want to spend her energy dealing with criticism, emphasising that her priority is to continue working and take on more projects.
Her remarks come days after the trailer for ‘Eetha’ received mixed reactions online, with some viewers questioning her Marathi accent and dialogue delivery.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film also stars Randeep Hooda, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Siddharth Jadhav. It is scheduled to hit cinemas on 4 December.
Shraddha plays Vithabai Narayangaonkar, a celebrated Lavani and Tamasha performer who was honoured by the President of India for her contribution to Tamasha in 1957 and again in 1990.
The actress was last seen in the blockbuster horror-comedy ‘Stree 2’, which was released on 15 August 2024.
