Shraddha Kapoor in favour of Hindu Succession Act
Taking to her official social media handle on August 11, Shraddha Kapoor shared an article by Bar and Bench. This article talked about the new changes in the Hindu Succession Act which state that daughters now have equal rights to the property, like the son, even if they are born before the 2005 amendment. The Ek Villain actor shared this in her Instagram story and captioned it saying, “About time! #Equality”. Here is the official social media post by the actor:
According to the publication's reports, a Three-Judge Bench was appointed to discuss and pass this notion. It included Justice S Abdul Nazeer, Justice Arun Mishra, and Justice M R Shah. They passed the verdict that gave equal rights to women in the family’s ancestral property and it will also have a retrospective effect, meaning it will be applied to those who are born before and after 2005.
On the work front, Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in films like Saaho and Baaghi 3. Baaghi 3 was released in 2020 and it failed to impress critics and the audience, whereas Saaho, which featured Prabhas in the lead role, was a box-office hit. It garnered the actor a huge fan following in the southern states of India, and also received massive acclaim from critics for her performance in the film.
