There was a sense of fear earlier, now I’m comfortable as an actor, says Khushi Kapoor
Khushi Kapoor says she has gained more confidence after her movie debut The Archies and hopes that shows in her second movie, Loveyapa, where she stars apposite Aamir Khan’s son Juanaid Khan.
The upcoming romantic-comedy is directed by Advait Chandan of Laal Singh Chaddha and Secret Superstar fame.
“This film allowed me to explore my abilities as an actor. In the first film, I was very comfortable in Betty’s role because it is very similar to how I am. This one was challenging but fun at the same time for me. It feels like I’ve gained more experience. For me, it was not to let fear hold me back,” Khushi, the younger daughter of legendary actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, said in an interview.
Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, an adaptation of the popular comic series, marked the movie debut Khushi, Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana and Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda.
Khushi admits that she was “sacred” while facing the camera for The Archies. “I’ve gained more confidence the more I work. There’s a sense of fear and maybe that didn’t let me push myself to what I think I’m capable of (in the first film). At that time that was my best. As you learn and grow, you should keep getting better. So, hopefully, I’m learning more and doing more and that will help,” she said.
Described as a “tangled tale of love and its complications with a mix of fun and laughter”, Loveyapa is the story of a young couple (Khan and Kapoor) whose lives take a turn as unspoken secrets come to light after they exchange their mobile phones.
