Srinidhi Shetty’s dream debut alongside Yash in KGF was a dream come true for any actor. But for many, her role was a far cry from that.
With limited screen time and a character dubbed as a “flowerpot” by some, Shetty faced heavy trolling.

The criticism was hard to ignore—people wondered if her role in KGF was meaningful or just for the sake of eye candy.
And after KGF, she didn’t get any major films for 2-3 years. So, did she regret being part of KGF?

Let’s be real—trolling happens to every actor, especially when their role in a film seems insignificant. Shetty’s KGF role, despite the film’s massive success, was ridiculed online.
The “flowerpot” comment stuck and people were quick to dismiss her as just another pretty face in a big film. But here’s the twist: Shetty has no regrets.

She recently said that she knew her role was small from the very beginning. She wanted her first film to be KGF because for her, it was a dream project—a chance to be part of a film that would define an era of Indian cinema.
But let’s not sugarcoat it—after KGF, the offers weren’t rolling in. Shetty faced a gap of nearly 2-3 years before getting another major film.
And even then, Cobra (2022) didn’t exactly break the box office. So, did she feel stuck? Did the lack of substantial roles after KGF make her question her decision?
Not really. Despite the limited opportunities, Shetty looks back at her time in KGF with pride. She acknowledges that the film gave her name, fame and recognition—things that changed her life.
The real question now is: has Shetty learned from this experience? She certainly seems to have.
Moving forward, she’s become more choosy about her roles. As she said, if she’s offered a similar “flowerpot” role again, she’ll think twice.
Why? Because she’s learned that fame and recognition aren’t enough; the role itself has to have value.
In her upcoming film HIT: The Third Case with Nani, she’s clearly looking for more substantial parts—roles that contribute to the story, not just look good on screen.
So, does Srinidhi Shetty regret her KGF role? No. While some might say her role in the film was minimal or pointless, Shetty doesn’t see it that way. She took it as a conscious choice for her debut and the impact of KGF on her life is evident.
But she’s wiser and more calculated now. The trolling and lack of immediate success didn’t break her; it made her more cautious. In the end, her journey from KGF to her next films is a career that’s learning, growing and gearing up for more.
