Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey talk about trust, comfort, and connection while filming intimate scenes in their upcoming film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan.
Trust was the key behind creating natural chemistry in the upcoming romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, says debutante Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and reality show star Maheep Kapoor, who stars opposite Vikrant Massey in the Santosh Singh directorial. The fresh pairing has caught the internet's attention, especially after the trailer showed their emotional connection unfolding between a visually impaired musician and a blindfolded theatre artist.
While audiences are curious to see how Shanaya performs in her first film, the buzz around her onscreen bond with Vikrant is already building. In a recent chat with Filmygyan, the lead actors opened up about how they worked through the challenges of shooting intimate scenes—particularly with the added layer of performing while visually restricted.
Vikrant explained how their shared values helped create comfort and connection on set.
He said, 'We've spoken about this. I think it's the trust factor that was built over a point of time. It strikes me that we are both very alike as people. Besides the acting workshop, or you know, chaahe fir woh blind school ki baat ho ya fir you know the challenges as actors we faced, uske alawa when we got to know each other as people, especially during the scene when we opened up as Vikrant and Shanaya and not just as actors, I think that also brought us closer."
Shanaya echoed Vikrant's thoughts, agreeing that their off-screen bond was crucial. Vikrant continued, 'We are very much alike as people, and I think woh jo trust factor humara tab ek doosre pe aaya, mere mann mein at least inke liye woh trust factor tab aaya when I realised that she and I are pretty alike as people and our world view is pretty similar and we are very hungry actors and we want to go out there and give our best. And the only way that can happen is by trusting each other and there's no other way because you have blindfolds on, I can't see anything, so let's empower each other and bring the best from each other."
Produced by Zee Studios, Mini Films and Open Window Films, the film directed by Santosh Singh, is scheduled for a release on July 11.

The film, also starring Vikrant Massey, has registered the lowest opening day numbers compared to other star kids such as Ananya Panday, Khushi Kapoor, and Rasha Thadani. Here's how others fared: Shanaya Kapoor enterted Bollywood with romantic film, while Rasha Thadani featured in a period drama. Ananya Panday Daughter of Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey, Ananya entered Bollywood with Student of the Year 2 in 2019. Directed by Punit Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar, the teen romantic comedy also starred Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Aditya Seal. As per Sacnilk, the film registered a business of ₹12.06 crore on the opening day. Shanaya Kapoor After a much ups and downs, Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, has started her Bollywood journey with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring alongside Vikrant Massey. The film, which was released on July 11, seems to be struggling at the box office. According to Sacnilk, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opened in theatres at just ₹35 lakh. Rasha Thadani Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani ventured in Bollywood with period drama Azaad. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Diana Penty, Mohit Malik and Piyush Mishra. Set in pre-independence India, Azaad explores the bond between a young stable boy and a horse. It was released in theatres on January 17. The film also introduced Ajay Devgn's nephew Aaman Devgan, and failed miserably at the box office. According to Sacnilk, Azaad raked in ₹1.5 crore on day one. Khushi Kapoor After making her acting debut with web film Archies, Boney Kapoor and Sridevi's daughter made her big screen debut with Loveyapa. The rom com was about the perils of social media and AI-tech on modern romances. It was remake of Tamil movie Love Today from 2022. The film failed to elicit the expected response and amassed ₹1.15 crore on day one. Junaid Khan Junaid made his acting debut with Maharaj (2024), which was released in the OTT space. It was received well by the viewers as well as the critics. But he failed to generate the same response with his first theatrical release. His first film to be released was Loveyapa, and it failed miserably. The opening day numbers were ₹1.15 crore. Sara Ali Khan Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's daughter Sara made her debut in 2018 with Kedarnath and Simmba releasing in December. Also starring late Sushant Singh Rajput, Kedarnath released on December 7. Rohit Shetty's Simmba released on December 28. Kedarnath opened at ₹7.25 crore.
