Shanaya Kapoor is all set to make her acting debut with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, also starring Vikrant Massey in lead role. As the actress is excited for the same, she recently opened up on why it took three years for her to make an acting debut in Bollywood. It is pertinent to note that Shanaya was earlier making her debut with Bedhadak, but it was later shelved.
In a conversation with PTI, Shanaya Kapoor said, "It's a surreal feeling and it's overwhelming when you see yourself on YouTube for now. I'm seeing myself and I'm putting my music videos on and I'm constantly seeing how it's looking, what the audience has been saying and it's an overwhelming feeling. It’s all come together and I'm happy with how the journey has been. If it's taken time, if it has had its ups and downs. I think it was all meant to happen for me to be here today."
Shanaya also talked about the baggage and scrutiny that comes with being a star kid. She said, "I was fully aware of what I was getting myself into and what I was choosing to do as a profession. There are preconceived notions, there is criticism, a sense of pressure but I take it positively."
About Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan: Presented by Zee Studios and Mini Films, and produced by Mansi Bagla, Varun Bagla, and Open Window Films, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is directed by Santosh Singh and written and created by Mansi Bagla, with music by Vishal Mishra. Starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, the film is set to release in cinemas on July 11, 2025.
As the film inches closer to its release, anticipation is high for Shanaya’s debut alongside Vikrant Massey. The teaser, songs and posters have already created significant buzz online, setting the stage for a grand launch.
