Shraddha Kapoor gets candid about 'Half Girlfriend' and her character in the film
Shraddha Kapoor is currently gearing up for the promotions of her upcoming film 'Half Girlfriend' with Arjun Kapoor. While the trailer of the film has been much-loved by all, one cannot miss the poster of the film where Shraddha and Arjun can be seen striking a pose in the rain. Coincidentally, the first song from the film also happens to be titled as 'Baarish'. However, this is not the first time that Shraddha Kapoor has got drenched in the rain for her films. In fact, all of Shraddha's films, be it 'Aashiqui 2' or 'Baaghi', they all have sequences featuring the actress getting drenched in rains.

When asked her about this rain fixation, Shraddha laughed and agreed saying, "There’s nothing more romantic than the rain and since these sequences have worked well for me, I don’t mind getting drenched at all. I love dancing in the rains. Add Mohit Suri’s music and it’s pure magic"

In her upcoming film 'Half Girlfriend' Shraddha's character will be seen undergoing various phases, right from a hep Delhi girl to that of a singer in the United States. Talking about her character's fashion journey Shraddha added, "I’ve enjoyed wearing some of the world’s biggest brands for the most part of the film, gradually shifting to more handloom-kitsch weaves. Mohit and Anaita (Shroff Adajania) gave me a look that’s straight out of a fairytale. She’s done a phenomenal job with all my looks in the movie."

When asked which is her personal favourite look from the film, the 'Baaghi' actress quipped, "My best look would be the Delhi one, undoubtedly. She’s super-glamorous and dolled up, unlike any of the characters I’ve played before."

Explaining the concept of 'Half-Girlfriend' Shraddha added, "These days, while parents have warmed up to love marriages and live-in relationships, youngsters have become commitment-phobic. In this film too, the guy is a friend yet not exactly a boyfriend. I discuss these equations openly with my parents." The actress further added that film also addresses the hypocritic belief that English speakers are better than small-towners. Shraddha asserted, “It’s the story of a boy from a small town who is grappling with an inferiority complex.”

Starring Shraddha and Arjun in lead roles, Mohit Suri's 'Half Girlfriend' is all set to release on May 19 and is based on a novel by Chetan Bhagat.
