Shanaya Kapoor, the upcoming Bollywood actress! Well, that’s a new name, isn’t it? Maybe not the “Kapoor” part, but the first half of the name surely is. I am sure many of you would be curious enough like me to know who this new star in the making is, or why is she so much in the news!
Well, to begin with, Shanaya Kapoor will be launched in the upcoming Bollywood movie Bedhadak directed by Shashank Khaitan, and the movie will be produced by Karan Johar’s production house Dharma Productions.
Also in the movie, Shanaya Kapoor will be seen as Nimrit starring alongside two more new actors and her co-actors, Lakshya as Karan and Gurfateh Singh Pirzada as Angad. Bedhadak might be her first movie as an actress but she is not new to the world of cinema. I hope all of us remember the movie ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’, right? The Netflix original movie stars Jahnvi Kapoor as the lead actress, Gunjan Saxena, the Indian Airforce officer, pilot and Kargil War veteran.
