Stree 2 actor Aparshakti Khurana recently weighed in on the ongoing tussle for perception credits between the film’s leads Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. As per various reports, the actors’ publicists have been engaged in a war on social media to pull the credit for the film’s humongous success in favour of their respective clients.

In an interview with Zoom, Aparshkati, who plays a pivotal role in the film, was questioned about this. When the journalist claimed that Shraddha has gained more popularity after Stree 2, despite not even having more screen time, Aparshakti nodded.

The actor said, “See this is a PR game. If your channel goes and asks audience, the original audience on street, are they saying this? I want to know that. So, this is a PR game, I don’t want to comment on it. I love each and every actor of my film. I am attached to them. In such a happy space, where the film has gotten so much love and success, this can come across as slightly unpleasant.”

“It shouldn’t have happened now, when everyone is in a happy space, celebrating the film. Amidst that, when this happens, then you have to also take a side, but I don’t want that. They are all equally close to me and I respect their journeys. Someone can dance well, act well, look well, or maybe do PR well. So there exists talent of all kinds, which help you in your journey. I wouldn’t call PR my most strong part,” he added.

Stree 2 has performed exceptionally well at the box office and has crossed the Rs 500 crore mark globally which has made it the biggest earner of 2024.
