Overview
- In a new interview cited on Feb. 20, Shanaya Kapoor says the setback of her planned Dharma debut made her double down on training, calling it formative to who she is today.
- Sanjay Kapoor, her father, advised her to keep working and honing scenes even off camera rather than worrying about delays beyond her control.
- Her widely announced debut vehicle Bedhadak with Lakshya and Gurfateh Pirzada was shelved, and a planned role in Vrusshabha with Mohanlal also did not materialize.
- She ultimately debuted on screen in Santosh Singh’s Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opposite Vikrant Massey, a film that underperformed at the box office.
- Her current release Tu Yaa Main, a Bejoy Nambiar–directed survival thriller co-starring Adarsh Gourav and produced by Aanand L Rai and partners, is a remake of Thailand’s The Pool and has drawn mixed reviews with an early worldwide haul of about ₹4.75 crore.
