Shriya Pilgaonkar Sets Adoption Rumors Straight: ‘I’m Not Adopted’

Shriya Pilgaonkar, the talented actress and daughter of renowned actors Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, is all set to reprise her role as Radha Bharghav in the much-anticipated second season of ‘Broken News 2’.

The series, which delves into the contrasting ideologies of two news channels, has been a hit among audiences, and Shriya’s performance has been lauded. Her character, Radha Bharghav, is a strong and independent woman who is unafraid to voice her opinions. This role has allowed Shriya to showcase her acting prowess and versatility.

Debunking Adoption Rumors

In a recent conversation with India Today, Shriya addressed a piece of fake news that had been circulating about her. The rumor suggested that she was an adopted child, a claim that Shriya firmly denied.

She stated,” There was a random article that said I was adopted. No, I’m not adopted. There was news going around out of nowhere that my parents had adopted me and that’s absolutely untrue. This is not even something that I need to justify because I’m not going to flash my birth certificate on Instagram to prove my point. But yes, this was absolutely amusing as it’s not true, but other than that, no other scandals have been reported about me.”

This clarification puts to rest any speculations about her parentage and reaffirms that she is indeed the biological daughter of Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar.

Staying Relevant In The Industry

Shriya shared her long-term perspective when asked about her approach to staying relevant in the industry.

She said, “Honestly, for me, I think of not being relevant in the moment but for years to come. Hence, I don’t look at it from a short-term view of a PR activity here and there. For me, being relevant is also about how much you’re learning and evolving as an actor.”

This statement reflects her commitment to her craft and her desire to improve and evolve as an actor constantly.

Learning From Industry Veterans

Shriya learned from her father and Shah Rukh Khan that staying relevant in the film industry requires continuous learning and passion. She believes that a strong project is enough to generate publicity and won’t fake a story for attention.
