The girl who once rocked neon braces as a child is now turning heads
with her radiant smile – Khushi Kapoor’s journey so far has been nothing short
of remarkable. With three films in her kitty, Kapoor has struck a chord with
the younger generation, earning praise from both industry insiders and fans
alike.
Beyond the screen, her warm, down-to-earth personality makes her an
instant favourite. Her authenticity shines through whether she is sharing
candid moments on social media or radiating positivity in everyday life. In an
exclusive conversation with Grazia India, Kapoor opens about her journey, the
mindset that fuels her performances, and the self-care rituals that keep her
grounded amid the whirlwind of stardom.
Reflecting on her craft, Kapoor shares her biggest lesson, “You need to
feel the emotions that your character is feeling and go through those same
emotional beats, otherwise it comes across a bit inauthentic.”
Eager to explore new dimensions as an actor, Kapoor dreams of stepping
into deeper, more intense narratives. She shares, "I’ve always been
curious to see what the process of a thriller-horror movie would look like;
maybe not completely horror, but something a bit darker than the movies I’ve
done so far. I like doing dramatic and emotional scenes, so I think it would be
interesting to make a film that was heavier on those kinds of notes."
When it comes to her creative approach, Kapoor enjoys adding a personal
touch to her characters, “I like making mood boards and sending them to my
directors just so they know what kind of vision I have for the character. It’s
about offering a fresh perspective and creating something collaborative.”
As for beauty and wellness, Kapoor believes in keeping things simple
and effective. She says, “I like to oil my hair when I’m not shooting and
indulge in hair spas. With skincare, I’ve noticed that the less I do, the
better. A good moisturiser and vitamin C serum are my essentials. Staying
moisturised is my thing.”
