Despite facing competition from other releases like “Khel Khel Mein” and “Vedaa,” which premiered on the same day, “Stree 2” has managed to hold its own at the box office, continuing the success of its predecessor.
Kapoor’s growing influence on social media and her box office success underscore her status as one of Bollywood’s leading ladies, further solidifying her place in the hearts of fans across the globe.
