Khushi got 100% scholarship from New York Film Academy: Boney Kapoor

Film producer Boney Kapoor recently revealed that his actor-daughter Khushi Kapoor secured a full scholarship at the New York Film Academy based on her audition tape. The confession came on a recent podcast where the 69-year-old stated that Khushi did not require financial support.

In a candid discussion on the Game Changers YouTube channel, Boney stated, "You know, Khushi was admitted to this New York Film Academy on a scholarship. I didn’t have to pay the fees."

"You send your audition to decide whether you can be admitted or not, and she was offered a scholarship," he continued, clarifying the process. Boney added that her selection was determined after the school reviewed her audition tape.

Khushi, who made her debut with the Netflix series 'The Archies', has been trolled for her performances in films so far. After her debut, she featured in 'Nadaaniyan' and 'Loveyapa'.

In a recent interview



with Filmfare, the 24-year-old shared that she has not yet had the chance to take on a serious role.

She said, "I think when I did 'Archies', I was really, really new, and I was really scared. I was approaching things really cautiously. I was really worried."

"I feel like you can provide more input and more ideas. The more I work, the more I realise that. Initially, I was a bit more apprehensive about voicing my thoughts," she added.

Film producer Karan Johar also spoke about the film at the press meet for a Punjabi film earlier in March.

"Whoever knows me, and (this goes for) every critic, my relationship doesn't change with them based on what they write about my films. Sometimes, trolls do say things. My issue is when some of these writers don't see that these actors are also someone's sons and daughters. They are people too," he added.

Khushi is yet to announce her next project.
