Shanaya Kapoor is eagerly waiting to be launched in Bollywood as an actress. Recently, the 20-year-old was quoted saying if the "most amazing director" Karan Johar will ever direct her, then she will get emotional and "just die".
If not an acting project, Shanaya Kapoor did get a chance to be an assistant director on the upcoming film Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl backed by KJo, starring her cousin Janhvi Kapoor. "As soon as my school was done, my dad and mom were like go to LA or New York and do a course," she recalled. But she was focussed on getting into the film industry.
Before entering the film world as an actor, she wanted to be an assistant director and Karan helped her. "Karan told me 'there is this movie that Janhvi is doing," she said. Soon after that conversation with KJo, she started going to office. "It was a big jump from school. It was the best experience of my life. After being an assistant director, I realised how much work goes into making a film," she said.
"I learnt so much about camera lenses, close-up shots, how you get into the character, how you shoot an angry scene, what are the things that actors do on set. All this just made me more confident of what I wanted to do," said Shanaya. She is yet to sign her first film as an actress though.
