Khushi Kapoor says sister Janhvi Kapoor extends support during The Archies shoot
According to IANS, Khushi Kapoor graced Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 with Zoya Akhtar and the other star cast of The Archies including Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, Agastya Nanda, Mihir Ahuja, Yuvraj Menda, and Aditi Dot.
During the show, Big B asked Khushi how did she feel when she got the first offer. Explaining her shoot days, the actress said, “I was quite nervous but my sister Janhvi (Kapoor) visited me when we were shooting in Ooty. I had her support. She used to talk to me when I was nervous: ‘Stay calm. You are supposed to be here.'”
She further added that Janhvi spoke to her regularly so felt relaxed. “But I think as a child, I used to play with mom and dad on set. There was a familiarity but still, I felt scared,” added Khushi.
On the other hand, in a conversation with Aaj Tak, Janhvi Kapoor was asked if she watched The Archies, and whether she liked it.
The Bawaal actress replied, “Yes, I did. I think that she did such a wonderful job at being honest. When I was talking to her, I told her to be prepared for hate but not to forget herself in the process. I wish someone said this to me. I wish someone told me to try looking at the people that value you, like you because believing the bad is always easier.”
