As the plane soared high into the sky, I couldn\u2019t help but feel defeated. Can every single thing in this world reach great heights except my career?\n\nLet me tell you a secret, dear diary; something most people don\u2019t realise about me. The failure of <em>OK Jaanu <\/em>hurt me as much as my death in <em>Ek Villain<\/em>. My family keeps telling me that I should become immune to flops, because now I\u2019ve pretty much made a name for delivering movies that sink at the box office and everyone knows how difficult it is to stand for something in Bollywood\u2026 just ask <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/kangana-ranaut-rangoon-koffee-with-karan-karan-johar-saif-ali-khan-bollywood-vishal-bhardwaj-hindi-cinema\/\">Kangana Ranaut<\/a>!\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Where am I going wrong, dear diary? I\u2019ve decided to take this time to introspect. The constant comparisons with Alia Bhatt don\u2019t help either.<\/blockquote>\nFor days after the release of <em>OK Jaanu<\/em>, I kept staring at my phone to get lit with congratulatory calls and messages praising my performance in the film, but the only call I got was from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jv5t4orpi9w\">KRK<\/a> telling me that that in a world of two rupees people, I was a fresh \u20b92,000 note person. It was like getting an endorsement from the Ku Klux Klan. I admit, I wanted to break down then. But I didn\u2019t.\n\nAs a star sperm, I\u2019ve learnt to roll with the punches. Everyone thinks you have it easy. Nobody thinks about the work that goes into employing a stylist who gets me at least five outfit changes every day so that I can immediately broadcast the look on Instagram and Twitter. I do interviews and smile for the cameras. I even try participating in rumours about my link-ups with my co-stars, go out and have torrid love affairs. That\u2019s not hard work or what? But it seems as if no matter what I do, I just can\u2019t please the press. All they want to talk about is my career.\n\nWhere am I going wrong, dear diary? I\u2019ve decided to take this time to introspect. The constant comparisons with Alia Bhatt don\u2019t help either. Just the other day, I read an <a href=\"http:\/\/movies.ndtv.com\/bollywood\/alia-bhatt-dont-compare-with-shraddha-kapoor-640499\">article<\/a> that compared our careers and praised Alia for being the Deepika Padukone to my Sonam Kapoor. Is it my fault that I can\u2019t give more than one expression in a movie?\n\nFor the first time in my six-year-long career, I\u2019m playing a lead in <em>Haseena<\/em>, a biopic on godmother <a href=\"http:\/\/indiatoday.intoday.in\/story\/dawood-sister-haseena-parkar-dead-how-godmother-rose-to-crime-world\/1\/370125.html\">Haseena Parkar<\/a>. My brother Siddhanth essays the role of Dawood Ibrahim, my on-screen sibling. I know, I should be happy, but here I am spending sleepless nights thinking about him taking away my limelight with his acting. What should I do, dear diary? I could ask the makers to let me sing a song in the movie. But then again, that trick didn\u2019t work for <em>Rock On 2!! <\/em>I\u2019m screwed.\n\nMaybe, I\u2019m overthinking this. I do have <em>Half-Girlfriend<\/em> coming up, and if there\u2019s one person whose work I believe in, it\u2019s Chetan Bhagat. It\u2019s because of men like him and Papa that I can rise.\n\nI\u2019ve made up my mind. From now on, I\u2019m going to follow in Alia\u2019s footsteps and leave it all to the men. Papa once told me, \u201cBehind every successful Alia Bhatt, there is an army of Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, and Shahid Kapoor doing the work for her.\u201d\n\nThat\u2019s exactly why, when I was cutting the birthday cake with family last night, I closed my eyes and prayed to the God of Bollywood Careers aka Karan Johar. All us girls need is men to believe in us and make us stars\u2026 and then see us shine.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a diary entry, Shraddha Kapoor reflects on the year gone by: \u201cThe only call I got after OK Jaanu was from KRK.
