Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, completed her education at Ecole Mondiale World School and honed her skills in dance and acting before stepping into the film world. Prior to her acting debut, she gained experience as an Assistant Director on her cousin Janhvi Kapoor’s film ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’. In a recent interview, Shanaya revealed that despite being part of Gen-Z, she holds traditional romantic values close to her heart.Old-School Romantic at HeartWhen asked if she is an old-school romantic at heart, Shanaya said Bollywood Bubbles that just a few minutes ago, she had expressed the same thought. She acknowledged that their generation is very detached and quick to move on, and she is part of that generation too. She mentioned that her friends behave that way, and everyone has their own approach. However, deep down, she considers herself an old-school girl when it comes to love. She looks for a long-term relationship and is not quick to move on or jump around, as that is not who she is. When she finds that special person, they become like home to her. She wants to find that feeling of home and that sense of comfort.Balancing Passionate Work and Personal LifeShe explained that for everyone, especially artists, the experience is unique because their work is not a typical nine-to-five job but a passionate way of life. Constantly embodying different characters means they often bring their work home. Therefore, finding someone who helps restore balance in her life is very important, and she fully embraces being old-school.Upcoming Film ProjectsOn the work front, Shanaya Kapoor is ready to debut in Bollywood alongside Vikrant Massey with the romantic drama ‘Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan’. Directed by Santosh Singh, the film is releasing on July 11. She will also feature in ‘Tu Yaa Main’, a survival thriller by Bejoy Nambiar opposite Adarsh Gourav, produced by Aanand L Rai, set for Valentine’s Day 2026.
