From Sara Ali Khan to Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter to now Ananya Panday, a host of star kids are foraying into Bollywood. Joining the bandwagon is none other than Janhvi's cousin Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor. Although the 19-year-old is currently an assistant director on Kargil Girl, she certainly has plans to make her acting debut soon. What's more? Her father Sanjay has confirmed the news to an entertainment portal and said, She is doing her acting workshops, her dance classes and other things that you need to do before you take it up as a career."
Meanwhile, rumours have been rife that Karan Johar is planning to launch Shanaya under his home banner, Dharma Productions. Sanjay refuted the speculations and said, "There's no truth to that. She's just assisting on his production venture. She has not taken a call on anything yet. Yes, she's definitely getting ready for a Bollywood career. Hopefully soon, she must work hard and land a good film. We will all wait for that. I just want her to concentrate on this for now."
When asked how Shanaya has chosen to be an AD before her debut, Sanjay revealed that it was a joint decision and added, "It's true that Shanaya is now in Lucknow and working as an assistant on Janhvi's film. It was a joint decision. She was very keen on doing something different to understand the space, rather than just wasting time. Before she wanted to take up a film, she didn't want to be abroad for a three-year-course. Instead, she chose something personal like this."
Well, it seems we all need to be set to watch another Kapoor try her luck in films.
