' was one of the biggest hits of 2024. Infact, it wasn't just one of the highest grossing movies of 2024 but it broke many records in Hindi cinema.

Meanwhile in a recent interview, director Amar Kaushik spoke about how Shraddha was cast in 'Stree 2' and said that her laughter was like a

chudail

.
After he made this comment, Amar got trolled by

fans

of Shraddha terribly. However, he was seen posing with Shraddha at a party thrown by producer Dinesh Vijan on Monday night. As the actor-director posed together, Shraddha took a jibe at him and said, "Aaj kal yeh bohot jokes maar rahe hai." On hearing this, Amar literally put his hand on his ears and made a gesture of apology. He then added, "Mujhe darr lag raha hai. Sabse zyada aapke fans se darr lag raha hai."
Amar said on Komal Nahta's podcast 'Game Changers', "Shraddha ki casting puri ki puri Dinesh Vijan ko jaati hai...Toh Shraddha ke saath kisi flight mein aa rahe the, flight mein unko mili thi. Unki kuch hasi thi toh unhone bola, 'Amar, woh jab hasti hai na toh ekdum Stree ki tarah, ekdum chudail ki tarah hasti hai' (The credit for Shraddha's casting goes to Dinesh Vijan...He was travelling with Shraddha on a flight; they met there. She had a laugh, he said, 'Amar when she laugh. it's similar to Stree, just like a witch')."
He added, "Sorry, Shraddha. Aisa kuch bola tha unhone, chudail bola tha kya bola tha, I’m not sure...Jab main unko mila toh sabse pehle hasee maine puchi, haso. But woh use nahi kari obviously she wasn't a character jo hasegi (He said something, witch or something else, I'm not sure...When I met her I asked her to laugh. But she didn't use that laugh obviously because she wasn't a character)."

As Amar made this comment, fans of Shraddha started trolling him on social media. A fan of Shraddha shared this video on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "Hey @AmarKaushik, seems like you've forgotten who made #Stree2 a hit! When you need hype, you're all about @ShraddhaKapoor, but behind the scenes, you're mocking her? Not cool. Show some respect to the talent that brings you success." Another person said, "These misogynist men are never going to appreciate her work or her acting, but see, this is how they talk!!!!"
