Family Reactions and Film Earnings
When asked about the reactions of Ayushmann Khurrana and his wife, filmmaker Tahira Kashyap, to the “Stree” franchise, Aparshakti shared that the family watched the film on the night of August 14th and were very impressed. He also mentioned that he hadn’t anticipated the film’s significant box office success, stating, “When you’re making a film, you don’t think about how much it’s going to earn. During shooting, you’re focused on giving your best performance and working from the heart. None of us expected the film to be such a huge success.”
On-Screen Chemistry and Creative Freedom
The chemistry between the cast members of “Stree” has been praised by fans and critics alike. Aparshakti credits this to the strong off-screen relationships that translated naturally onto the screen. He also highlighted the creative freedom given by the film’s writer, Niren Bhatt, saying, “We were all allowed to experiment on set, which was the best part. Each of us brought our own unique style to our characters, and that can be seen in the film.”

Aparshakti’s Hilarious Post-Film Anecdote
Aparshakti, who plays the character of Bittu, shared a funny story from after the film’s release. In the movie, Bittu sings a lullaby to put his girlfriend to sleep. After the film came out, one of his school friends, Vishal, jokingly asked him to sing the same lullaby for him. Aparshakti obliged and started singing the lullaby over the phone. However, the moment turned even funnier when his wife overheard him and asked if he was singing the lullaby for her. Aparshakti replied, “No, I’m singing it for Vishal!”
With Ayushmann Khurrana’s entry into the “Stree” universe, fans have even more reason to look forward to the next installment. The unique blend of horror and comedy, combined with the Khurrana brothers’ on-screen collaboration, promises to make “Stree 2” sequal a highly anticipated film.
