Khushi Kapoor, daughter of filmmaker Boney Kapoor and the late superstar Sridevi, has recently come under fire from online trolls. Following her acting debut in 2023 with ‘The Archies’ and subsequent films like ‘Loveyapa’ and ‘Nadaaniyan’, Khushi faced criticism for her performances. The situation escalated when a video of her father, Boney Kapoor, surfaced, where he mentioned that Khushi received a full scholarship to the prestigious New York Film Academy, implying he did not have to pay the tuition fees.
In the interview, Boney Kapoor proudly stated, “You know, Khushi was admitted to this New York Film Academy on scholarship. I didn’t have to pay the fees.” He elaborated that admission was based on her audition, and she was indeed offered a scholarship.
However, this revelation did not sit well with many social media users. The video quickly went viral, leading to a barrage of critical comments and memes. On platforms like Reddit, users expressed disbelief and questioned the basis of the scholarship, given the mixed reception of Khushi’s acting. Comments ranged from sarcastic remarks about parental lies to harsh judgments on her acting abilities, with some even suggesting the academy or audition process was flawed.
While Khushi’s performance in ‘Loveyapa’ received some positive notices from critics, her role in ‘Nadaaniyan’ was widely trolled, with several scenes becoming viral memes. The public’s reaction to the scholarship news highlights the intense scrutiny and high expectations placed on star kids in the industry, especially when their performances are perceived as falling short.
