If The Archies and Koffee with Karan Season 8 are something to go by, Khushi Kapoor appears to be the antithesis of her elder sister Janhvi Kapoor. While each look fairly alike and get alongside like a home on fireplace, Janhvi appears to be as Khushi confessed on the sofa, “extremely messy,” whereas the youthful one is pretty collectively, particularly for somebody simply beginning out within the movie business.

Bleed vs heal along with your artwork
Janhvi has maintained that she feels the necessity to “bleed for her art” with a view to justify the straightforward inroads she’s had into Bollywood. Having been trolled for her privilege and nepotism proper from her debut movie, Janhvi believes she should cry her eyes out (Dhadak), scare the hell out of herself (Ghost Stories), wrestle to remain alive inside a deep freeze (Mili), and get ill-treated by her husband (Bawaal) on display screen with a view to crystallise her appearing chops.
She’s admitted that the first purpose behind this obsession is as a result of she by no means bought the validation she wanted from her late legendary mom, Sridevi, as she handed away proper earlier than the discharge of her debut movie, Dhadak (2018). Janhvi confessed on Koffee with Karan that as a result of she could not impress the diehard followers of her mom together with her debut efficiency, she has been slogging all through. It’s solely now that she’s begun to not search exterior validation, and have enjoyable being a ‘heroine’ with upcoming movies like Kortala Siva’s Devara: Part 1.
On the opposite hand, Khushi made a reasonably fuss-free debut with Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix India interval musical The Archies. She did not face as a lot scrutiny as Janhvi did, in all probability as a result of it wasn’t a theatrical launch, the nepotism debate wasn’t on the surge due to Kangana Ranaut’s “flag-bearer of nepotism” comment on the Koffee sofa, and the truth that Khushi shared the brickbats for nepotism with two fellow ‘nepo babies’ – Suhana Khan and Agastya Nanda – who also made their debut with the same movie. Janhvi only shared it with Dhadak co-star Ishaan Khatter, Shahid Kapoor’s brother, but was at the forefront thanks to her late mother’s iconic status and recency bias due to her untimely and controversial demise.
But as Janhvi pointed out on the show, Khushi inherited her mother’s ability to switch on and off as an actor. As her real self, Khushi seemed very composed and at ease. But if you watch her in The Archies, she transforms into the effervescent Betty Cooper, the quintessential girl next door. Of course, challenges with dialogue delivery remain, but she seems to exude a far more striking screen presence than her sister, whose process is more nuanced, but also explicable and transparent.
Troll away
Khushi’s ability to shut out the noise, preserve energy, and light up only when it matters the most also transcends to how she deals with trolls and gossip. Janhvi’s response to her trolls always comes with a disclaimer that she acknowledges her privilege, whereas Khushi shut trolls up once and for all when she went the Richa Chadha way and said that the trolling has to do more with the trolls’ insecurities than her insufficiencies. And the way she said it was also far more secure and sure-footed, instead of her elder brother Arjun Kapoor blurting out the same philosophy on the couch in a manner reeking of arrogance and frustration.
Khushi’s response to host Karan Johar quizzing her about her alleged relationship with The Archies co-star Vedang Raina was also conveniently conventional, but also casually telling. She quoted the “Om and I are just good friends” line from Farah Khan’s 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om, but when asked her views on ‘friends with benefits’ within the Rapid Fire spherical, she stated with a smile, “What are friends without benefits?”
Janhvi additionally had some saucy revelations about her courting life, together with reuniting together with her first boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya. But once more, as an alternative of these coming naturally to her, the reality bombs felt extra planted. Since Karan’s expertise administration agency Dharma Cornerstone Agency handles her, it is no shock if these had been strategic ‘Shikhooo’ leaks by the actor who’s normally very restrained. There’s a purpose why she’s the one one out of her contemporaries whose previous relationship with Kartik Aaryan hasn’t been dissected on the Koffee sofa.
Like her elder daughter, Sridevi has additionally mentioned controversies solely after they’ve reached the brim. Like how she expressed her disappointment at SS Rajamouli leaking her extravagant calls for when he supplied her the position of Sivagami within the Baahubali franchise. Janhvi could also be making an attempt to be as dignified as her mom in terms of controversies, however she might additionally take a web page out of her father Boney Kapoor’s e-book: blow her personal trumpet, personal her airport seems, and unapologetically demand her house within the universe, even when it is within the trailer of a movie the place she’s barely there.
