Turns out Shraddha Kapoor is distantly related to the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar!
Mangeshkar was the first cousin of Kapoor's maternal grandfather, Pandharinath Kolhapur.
It's a pretty cool connection, especially since Mangeshkar, known as the "Nightingale of India," shaped Bollywood music with her unforgettable voice.

Up next, Shraddha stars in Eetha, a biopic where she plays famed Marathi artist Vithabai Narayangaonkar. The film drops August 28, 2026, and promises to be one of her most challenging roles yet.
