Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor, is all set to make her acting debut with 'Vrushabha', a Telugu-Malayalam film where she will star opposite Mohanlal. She will also mark her Bollywood debut in 'Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan' next year.
In a conversation with Timeout With Ankit, Sanjay Kapoor shared his perspective on the ups and downs in the industry, noting that Shanaya, like others, has witnessed the highs and lows of their family and the industry. He noted that it’s not always easy, as one day you may be at the peak, and the next, you're sitting at home.
The senior actor emphasized that one shouldn't stop pursuing their dreams out of fear. He added that in the film industry, everything you go through is public knowledge, with people aware of the success or failure of your recent films. Despite this, he reminded me that it is simply a part of life.
When asked if he had ever had a conversation with his children about the challenges of the industry, he responded that there was no need for a formal discussion. He explained that his children had witnessed everything themselves, including his determination not to give up. He acknowledged that times had changed, and it was a great time to be part of the industry.
Sanjay, who also has a teenage son named Jahaan, expressed that success is a very relative term. He noted that it's not always necessary to aim to be number one in any field. He pointed out that job satisfaction is another important factor. He gave the example of someone who wants to become an actor but can't and instead becomes a businessman and earns a lot of money. However, he added that in such cases, the person may feel that their dream was not fulfilled.
In the same interview, Sanjay admitted that he feels nervous both as a parent and an actor. He explained that even the biggest stars get nervous when they step onto a set for the first time because they are stepping into a new character. He emphasized that if someone isn't nervous, it means they are taking their stardom for granted. He further stated that nervousness is natural and should be present, and if it's absent, it would indicate overconfidence.
