Shraddha Kapoor Cried During Siddhanth’s Drug Case

Actor Shraddha Kapoor was left emotionally devastated when political protests erupted outside her family home during her brother Siddhanth Kapoor’s drug case arrest in 2022. The incident deeply affected both siblings, according to their aunt Tejaswini Kolhapure, who recently opened up about the family’s ordeal during an interview.

Media Sensationalism and Political Pressure

Tejaswini Kolhapure revealed that the media significantly exaggerated Siddhanth’s involvement in the case. She stated that her nephew was simply “in the wrong place at the wrong time,” and because of his family’s prominence in the entertainment industry, his name received disproportionate media attention. Kolhapure emphasized that the situation was “blown out of proportion” by various news outlets, amplifying the family’s distress during an already difficult period.

Emotional Toll on the Family

The situation worsened when a political party staged protests outside Shakti Kapoor’s residence, chanting slogans to draw public attention. According to Kolhapure, both Shraddha and Siddhanth were crying inside the house while the demonstrations occurred outside. The aunt expressed her anguish at how the incident was transformed into a major controversy, despite its relatively minor nature. She highlighted that the family suffered tremendous mental stress from the combined pressure of media coverage and public demonstrations, describing the experience as “terrible.”

Siddhanth’s arrest in Bengaluru in 2022 came after he was allegedly found consuming drugs at a rave party in a luxury hotel. While the incident itself was significant, Kolhapure’s recent comments underscore how celebrity status can intensify public and media scrutiny, ultimately affecting not just the accused individual but also their entire family members.
