'Chup Baitho': Shanaya Kapoor TROLLED For Talking About Her 'Journey', Reddit Calls It 'Non-Existent'
Last Updated:
Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor, says she overcame criticism to prepare for her Bollywood debut in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan.
Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, is being trolled on Reddit ahead of her debut film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan for calling her path to the debut a 'journey" and speaking about the challenges she faced. Many users questioned her struggles, calling them 'non-existent" and criticising her for already being a famous starkid before her first film.
'I think whatever my journey has been till now, it's taught me a lot. Whatever the fame or the pressure, with fame comes comments and criticism. I've taken it in a positive way, as feedback and learnt from it, grown from it. And I am who I am today because of my parents. They've brought me up in a certain way. Yes, my environment has been this, but I don't think I want it any other way because I'm confident today of who I am," she said in an interview with Bollywood Hungama.
Shanaya was originally set to debut with Bedhadak, but the project was delayed. She opened up on the ups and downs, saying, 'I think that comes with probably things I've gone through in the span of getting here today. It has been a journey of its own to be here today. Everything I think happens for a reason, everything is the way it's supposed to be for something great to happen. I'm happy, I'm keeping my fingers crossed."
But Reddit users are not having any of it. One comment read, 'The only person struggling here is me and my inability to relate to her imaginary journey. The only journey she's been on is from her living room to the film set." Another read, 'Journey ?? Kab start hui Behen ?" Another user commented, '`Didi."
Based on Ruskin Bond's short story The Eyes Have It, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan tells a beautiful love story between a visually impaired musician (played by Vikrant Massey) and a theatre artist (played by Shanaya Kapoor). According to a press release, 'The film explores the themes of resilience, passion and the indomitable human spirit, all set to a beautiful musical backdrop." Produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla under ZED Studios and Mini Films, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is set to hit the theatres on July 11.

Last Updated: Vikrant Massey, who is gearing up for his next film, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, says that he hopes his film 12th Fail gets a National Award. Vikrant Massey has been delivering hit after hit in recent years. It's safe to say that the actor has established himself as one of the finest talents in the industry. However, this time, Massey is stepping into something completely new. He's both nervous and excited about being part of a 'commercial Bollywood film" with Santosh Singh's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. The film also marks the debut of Shanaya Kapoor, who plays the lead opposite Massey. During the film's promotions, Massey spoke exclusively to News18 Showsha about how he hopes his previous project, 12th Fail, wins a National Award. There have been specualtions on 12th Fail winning a National Award, however, nothing concrete has been announced yet. Talking about the same, he said, 'I hope it does. And I'm sorry, without cost of sounding pompous, and with utmost humility. I hope it does. I hope the film wins an award. I hope Vidhu Vinod Chopra wins an award. I hope I win an award. I've always aspired for one. I've prayed for one when I was that young kid wanting to become an actor, I always wanted a National Award because that's the greatest achievement an actor in India can have, to be presented an award by the President of the country. And I hope it happens. So, fingers crossed." After Aankhon Ki Gustaakiyan, Massey is all set to start his soft preparation for his next film titled White, where he plays the titular role of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. 'There's one film that I am also soft prepping for. It is called White, wherein I play the honorable Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. [I am] very nervous. I'm spending a lot of time with him, with the script. I start shooting in August. [Spending time with him] is also very unnerving because he's something else. He's God-sent for me. This film, him everything, this opportunity is God-sent." Talking about working with debutant Shanaya Kapoor, Massey says she was like a 'breath of fresh air." He added, 'It was lovely working with Shanaya. She is a breath of fresh air. There's so much that I learned from her. But also the same time when I when I took up this opportunity, I was very nervous because I've never done something like this, which is which is an outright commercial Bollywood Hindi movie wherein I'm lip syncing for the first time. I was very nervous." Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustaakiyan releases on July 11. First Published:

There Are A Lot Of People...: Vikrant Massey Says Some In Industry Still Try To Make Him Feel Lesser
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey has revealed that despite his success, there are still people in the film industry who make him feel lesser. In a recent interaction with IANS, he also admitted that many don't like him as an actor but added that their doubts only fuel his determination to keep proving himself. When asked if any star kids ever made him feel less important during his struggling days, Massey clarified that it wasn't about star kids specifically, but about certain individuals in the industry who tried to make him feel small. The '12th Fail' actor shared, 'No, it's not about a star kid. It's about the kind of people who make you feel small. We shouldn't generalize it. There are many people who, from time to time, try to make you feel lesser—and they still do. Even today? Yes, even today. There are many who do that. But I believe such people are necessary.' 'They help keep the fire inside you burning. I actually think we need people like that—those who challenge you, who look down on you. They still exist, and I'm thankful for their presence. There are a lot of people who don't like me as an actor. I know that. I won't name them, but they give me the drive to keep going.' When asked if it affects him mentally, Vikrant Massey responded that it doesn't disturb him at all. In fact, he said such negativity fuels his motivation and drives him to do better. 'Not at all. In fact, it works in my favor. There are so many who think, 'Oh, he's not a good actor.' Some even believe I'm overrated. So, when my film does well, it feels good—I prove them wrong. That's what keeps me going.' The 'Gaslight' actor went on to mention, 'That's the driving force for me. That feeling stays with you—it's very important. They help keep that inner fire alive. So really, it depends on the person. It's not about being a star kid or not. Not at all. If we're talking about star kids, most of them have actually been very nice to me.' Work-wise, Vikrant Massey is gearing up for the release of his film 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' alongside Shanaya Kapoor. Helmed by Santosh Singh, the romantic drama is slated for a theatrical release on July 11.
