She also shared snapshots on Instagram that painted a picture of elegance, exploration, and excitement.
Cultural immersion
Kapoor’s Abu Dhabi itinerary reflected her keen interest in immersing herself in the local culture.
She visited the Louvre Abu Dhabi, marvelling at the museum’s stunning architecture and its vast collection of global art. Her playful side emerged as she mimicked one of the sculptures, a moment fans described as "quintessentially Shraddha."
The actress also embraced Abu Dhabi’s rich heritage, sipping traditional Gahwa (Arabic coffee) while mingling with local women. This interaction showcased her admiration for the timeless tea traditions and the hospitality synonymous with Emirati culture.
A taste of tradition
Shraddha’s gastronomic journey was a highlight of her trip. She explored authentic Emirati cuisine, declaring Gahwa her "new favourite." Sharing her thoughts on Instagram, she wrote: “Abu Dhabi isn’t just a destination; it’s a journey filled with unforgettable experiences.”
Art meets glamour
True to her fashion-forward persona, Kapoor stunned in a caramel brown fitted top and satin pleated trousers, accentuated by a chic longline shrug. Her outfit perfectly blended style and comfort as she explored the city. She documented her time at the museum, posing against impressive artworks and scenic backdrops, providing fans with a glimpse of her artistic and aesthetic sensibilities.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Proving her love for high-octane action, Kapoor also attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. She was photographed enjoying the thrilling F1 race from the stands, her excitement palpable. This event added a dynamic edge to her otherwise cultural and artistic itinerary.
Haseena Parker meets Peter Parker
Shraddha’s Abu Dhabi adventure followed her appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where Bollywood’s very own ‘Haseena Parker,’ had a delightful encounter with Hollywood’s ‘Peter Parker,’ Andrew Garfield.
The duo’s picture quickly became a fan favourite, sparking excitement across social media. The actress, known for her versatile performances, shared a light-hearted moment with Garfield, blending her Bollywood charm with Spider-Man’s web-slinging fame.
