Shraddha Kapoor’s portrayal of a singer in Aashiqui 2 may have won her a loyal fan following but the actress is apparently in no mood to make singing her vocation in real life. This, despite the fact that she is singing in her upcoming film, Ek Villain. It has emerged that the actress recently turned down an offer to cut an album.

Says a source, “Shraddha has impressed a lot of people from the industry with her vocal skills. Those who got a chance to listen to her song told her that they loved her voice. So much so that the actress was also approached by a few music companies who wanted to cut an album with her. But the actress declined these offers, as she wants to focus on acting right now. Not many know that the actress comes from a musically inclined family; many of her family members are singers. In fact, Shraddha too is a trained singer.

Says a source, “T-Series approached Shraddha to cut an album with her and so did two other music companies. But she politely refused the offers as she doesn’t want to become a professional singer and only wants to concentrate on acting as of now.”

Shraddha could not be reached for comment whereas T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar denied the news.
