In a dazzling debut marked by star-studded attendance, Khushi Kapoor stepped into the limelight with her first film, ‘The Archies,’ directed by Zoya Akhtar. The premiere also marked the cinematic introductions of Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Dot, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda. The grand premiere night drew the entire industry to witness the budding talents.
What stole the spotlight, however, was Khushi Kapoor’s choice of attire. Gracing the red carpet, Khushi not only looked stunning but also donned a gown that once belonged to her late mother, Sridevi. The poignant decision sparked curiosity, and Khushi has now shared the heartfelt reason behind this choice.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, the debutante clarified that her intention was not to make a fashion statement. Nervous and uncertain about her outfit just a week before the premiere, Khushi expressed the desire to wear something that belonged to her mother. This symbolic choice served as a source of emotional support for Khushi on her significant day.
Revealing the emotional significance, Khushi disclosed that she wanted to feel her mother’s presence and sought that extra support for the momentous occasion. After carefully going through her mother’s belongings, Khushi selected the gown that resonated with her sentiments.
Post the premiere, Janhvi Kapoor shared photos of Khushi, expressing that their mother would have been immensely proud. The heartfelt gesture and emotional connection added a poignant touch to Khushi’s debut.
Reviewing ‘The Archies,’ many critics have applauded Khushi Kapoor for her performance as Better, with some even suggesting that she outshone her sister Janhvi Kapoor’s debut in ‘Dhadak.’ Khushi’s poignant choice of attire and commendable performance have undoubtedly made her a standout presence in the film industry.
