Khushi Kapoor is the rising star of Bollywood. As she embarks on a promotional spree for her much-awaited theatrical debut, Loveyapa, she is not only grabbing eyeballs with her acting prowess but also for her soulful and candid talk in the interviews. Probably one of the hotest discussions that came up while interviewing her was an equation that’s been made with her sister Janhvi Kapoor, who already marked a presence in Bollywood. Khushi opened up about the bond that she shares with Janhvi, about the fierce competition in the industry, and how her sister’s journey keeps inspiring her every day in Bollywood.
When asked about the much-discussed concept of competition between her and Janhvi, Khushi quickly denied the idea, calling it an alien concept to both of them. She said that their relationship is based on love and support rather than rivalry. “That thought is so foreign to both of us. I think it’s so strange to think that we could be competing at all,” she said. Khushi added, “I think even if we were to be up for the same project, I think if she were to get it over me, it would be a win for me, and I think it would be vice versa. I don’t think there would ever be any kind of other way to look at it.”
This statement by Khushi is a refreshing take on sibling dynamics in the competitive world of Bollywood. The Kapoor sisters seem to have a deep understanding that their relationship isn’t about outshining one another but celebrating each other’s successes. In an industry often filled with comparisons and the pressure to outdo others, Khushi’s perspective on supporting each other rather than competing reflects the importance of family bonds.
Given that Janhvi Kapoor debuted in Bollywood before Khushi, it is no surprise that Khushi has been inspired by her elder sister’s journey. Janhvi, who debuted with the film Dhadak, has become a prominent figure in the industry and has navigated the challenges that come with being part of one of Bollywood’s most famous families. Khushi admitted that she was indeed influenced by her sister and said that she usually consults Janhvi for advice. “I mean, I definitely go to her and Dad for advice the most. I don’t think I would make any decision without their approval,” Khushi shared. She further explained that when it comes to her styling, Janhvi plays a crucial role in helping her choose outfits. So whether it’s something small or big, when it comes to my styling, she’s literally in my group with my stylist. It’s me, Janhvi, and me literally deciding, you know, this outfit, will send her pictures, and she’ll help me choose,” Khushi added.
This peep into their sisterly bond shows that support behind the scenes as Khushi launches her career in the film industry. The fact that Janhvi is so actively involved in her younger sister’s styling decisions and is giving her advice on important career choices shows the closeness of their relationship. Having Janhvi by her side as a mentor and role model seems to be an invaluable resource for Khushi as she prepares to carve her own path in Bollywood.
This shows how much strength their relationship has because Khushi can appreciate and enjoy her sister’s successes while still carving out her own identity. As Khushi continues to grow in the industry, it is clear that Janhvi will remain an important source of inspiration and support for her, both personally and professionally. The Kapoor sisters indeed present siblings, but they have become pillars of strength to each other, and their relation would continue to inspire fans and aspiring actors.
