In a move that has delighted and amused the internet, Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor has taken to LinkedIn, and her refreshingly honest work experience has become a viral sensation. Known for her charm on screen and her candidness off it, Kapoor’s professional profile has been lauded for its relatability and humor, showcasing a side of the star that few had seen before.
After a brief, but widely publicized, hiccup where her new LinkedIn account was flagged as fake—a situation she humorously chronicled on her Instagram—Kapoor’s verified profile is now visible, and fans have been quick to pore over her professional journey. While the profile appropriately lists her current roles as a co-founder of the jewelry brand Palmonas and her long-standing career as a self-employed actor, it was the details from her early life that truly captured the attention of social media users.
Kapoor’s profile reveals that while she was studying psychology at Boston University, she held a couple of part-time jobs. These were not the typical, polished entries one might expect from a major celebrity. Instead, her descriptions are a masterclass in self-deprecating humor.
For her stint as a barista at Starbucks, Kapoor humorously confessed, “I was the worst and slowest barista in Boston. I want to find all the customers and apologise.” This single line has sent the internet into a tizzy, with screenshots of the profile being shared across various platforms like Reddit and Twitter. Users are praising her for her humility and a willingness to acknowledge her less-than-stellar moments, a stark contrast to the often-perfectly curated personas of celebrities.
Her other college-era job as a sandwich maker at Einstein Bros Bagels also received a witty mention: “Made bagels, really good ones.” This balanced, honest, and utterly human approach to her professional history has made her a new kind of icon on the professional networking site.
The internet’s reaction has been a mix of laughter, admiration, and intrigue. Many are calling it the “most relatable celebrity LinkedIn profile ever,” while others are speculating about her reason for joining the platform, with some suggesting she is genuinely focusing on her entrepreneurial ventures. Regardless of her ultimate goal, Shraddha Kapoor has successfully turned a formal professional platform into a stage for authentic and engaging storytelling, proving that even a star’s career journey can have its share of funny, humble, and unforgettable moments.
