Khushi Kapoor is all set to follow in her sister Janhvi Kapoor's footsteps. Khushi, the daughter of producer Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi, is interested in becoming an actor and we will get to "hear an announcement soon", her father confirmed.
Boney, however, clarified that he would not be launching Khushi like he launched his brother Sanjay Kapoor a few decades ago as "one tends to get indulgent".
During an interview with Bombay Times, Boney said, "I have the resources, but I would rather have someone else launch her because I am her father and one tends to get indulgent. You can’t afford to do that as a filmmaker and nor is it good for the actor."
Boney also said that Khushi is being launched by another filmmaker that he respects a lot. "I would want Khushi to find her own footing. She will be launched by someone I respect and someone I feel secure and safe about," he said.
Boney had launched Sanjay Kapoor opposite Tabu with the 1995 film Prem. The film was directed by Satish Kaushik and written by Javed Akhtar. It was, however, delayed by several years before it hit theatres and did not work well.
Citing the example of his actor brothers he said, "Anil (Kapoor) was still an established actor, so it didn't affect him much, but I think I became an indulgent brother with Sanjay (Kapoor) when he made his entry into films."
Khushi has completed an acting course in the US. She had enrolled herself at the New York Film Academy. She was recently in Delhi and shared quite a few photos of herself on her recent public Instagram account.
Earlier, during her appearance on BFFs with Vogue Season 3, when Neha Dhupia had asked her about her dream debut, she had said that she would follow director Karan Johar blindly but her father will choose her co-star.
