Shraddha Kapoor's Stardom Greater Than Alia-Ranbir's? Mohit Suri Says ‘It's Insane'
Mohit Suri weighs in on Shraddha Kapoor's iconic status post-Aashiqui 2, saying her stardom is still 'insane' and fans continue to chant 'Aarohi.' Filmmaker Mohit Suri, known for delivering some of Hindi cinema's most iconic romantic dramas, including the blockbuster Aashiqui 2, has finally responded to a debate that continues to swirl among fans — does the magic of Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur in Aashiqui 2 outshine the star power of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in Brahmastra? Speaking to Siddharth Kannan in a recent interview, Suri didn't mince words as he clapped back at the comparison. 'I think Shraddha has seen some level of stardom. I don't know what does that mean but Shraddha's stardom is insane. Even till today if she goes somewhere, people start shouting Aarohi (her character's name from Aashiqui 2), and it doesn't matter how many films she does," Suri remarked. Released in 2013, Aashiqui 2 was a turning point for both Shraddha and Aditya, who were still relatively new to the industry. The tragic love story, backed by a soulful soundtrack, became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. In contrast, Alia and Ranbir's Brahmastra may have generated immense buzz but received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Shraddha Kapoor has never shied away from acknowledging the impact Aashiqui 2 had on her life and career. During a past event, the actress emotionally shared, 'Aarohi came in my life, and changed everything. I am forever grateful and thankful to each and everyone who gave so much love to me as Aarohi. People remember the film, the songs and the story, even after so many years." She also expressed her gratitude to the man who directed her breakout performance. 'I would like to also thank Mohit Suri sir for giving me this character and an opportunity of a lifetime. It will always stay with me," she said. Following Aashiqui 2, Shraddha's career only soared further, with hits like Ek Villain, ABCD 2, and the Stree franchise. Her recent film Stree 2 has shattered records at the box office, reportedly earning ₹857.15 crore worldwide.

Mohit Suri schools interviewer for comparing Shraddha Kapoor's stardom to Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor: ‘Her stardom is insane'
Before delivering the romantic film of the year, Saiyaara, filmmaker Mohit Suri had already given audiences several fan-favourite romantic films — one of the most iconic being Aashiqui 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. In a recent interaction, Mohit clapped back at an interviewer for comparing Shraddha-Aditya's stardom to that of Bollywood A-list couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, when Mohit was asked about how Shraddha and Aditya's stardom remains unmatched compared to Alia-Ranbir's, the filmmaker responded, saying, 'I think Shraddha has seen some level of stardom. I don't know what does that mean but Shraddha's stardom is insane. Even till today if she goes somewhere, people start shouting Aarohi (her character's name from Aashiqui 2), and it doesn't matter how many films she does. I don't pretend to say that I know what it takes to become a star but I know what is right for my film and I do that.' Alia and Ranbir shared screen space in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra. The film was panned by critics and received mixed reviews. Aashiqui 2, on the other hand, was a massive hit with audiences and emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2013—despite featuring newcomers Shraddha and Aditya in the lead roles. It was also after Aashiqui 2's success that Shraddha's career reached new heights. She went on to prove her mettle again with the Stree franchise, with her most recent release Stree 2 becoming a massive blockbuster, minting Rs 857.15 crore worldwide. Earlier, during an event, Shraddha had admitted how Aashiqui 2 escalated her career. She said, 'Aarohi came in my life, and changed everything.
