For Khushi Kapoor, stepping into Bollywood wasn’t just about being the daughter of legendary actress Sridevi—it was about proving her talent. While star kids often face comparisons with their famous parents, Khushi seems determined to build her career on her merit. With The Archies marking her debut and Nadaaniyaan showcasing her potential, she is steadily emerging as an actress to watch.
Being the daughter of one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated actresses comes with both privilege and pressure. Sridevi, known for her iconic performances in films like Chandni, English Vinglish, and Mom, left behind an indelible mark on Indian cinema. Her untimely demise in 2018 was a heartbreaking moment for the industry, and ever since, her daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, have been in the limelight. While Janhvi entered Bollywood with Dhadak in 2018, Khushi took her time before making her debut.
From ‘The Archies’ to ‘Nadaaniyaan’: Khushi’s Acting Journey
Khushi Kapoor made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies (2023), where she played Betty Cooper in the Indian adaptation of the classic comic series. The film received mixed reviews, but Khushi’s performance was noted for its sincerity and charm.
Her next project, Nadaaniyaan, opposite Ibrahim Ali Khan, showcased her in a different light. A modern-day romance set in Delhi, the film allowed her to explore a more layered character. With a strong screen presence and a growing fan base, Khushi is proving that she’s more than just a star kid—she’s an actress in her own right.
Following in Sridevi’s Footsteps? Boney Kapoor Hints at ‘Mom 2’
Recently, producer Boney Kapoor hinted at a potential sequel to Mom—a film that won Sridevi a National Award for her powerful performance. While nothing is confirmed yet, Boney’s statement about making a film with Khushi has sparked speculation that she might take on a role in Mom 2.
Taking on a film like Mom would be a huge responsibility. The original movie was an intense thriller that revolved around a mother’s quest for justice, and Sridevi’s performance was one of her most critically acclaimed. If Khushi steps into a similar role, it could be a defining moment in her career—one that could establish her as a serious performer rather than just a newcomer.
What’s Next for Khushi Kapoor?
With a few projects already under her belt, Khushi Kapoor is steadily making her way in Bollywood. Unlike many newcomers who rush into commercial films, she seems to be making thoughtful choices about her roles. If Mom 2 does happen, it could be a turning point for her.
