Facts

• Khushi started thinking about making a career in acting after her elder sister, Janhvi Kapoor started shooting for her debut film. During an interview, talking about the same, Boney Kapoor said,
  

  Khushi had expressed her desire to become an actor after Janhvi started shooting for Dhadak in 2018. That’s why we sent her to New York Film School in 2019. If Sridevi was around, she would have supported her like she supported Janhvi.”

• Khushi is obsessed with tattoos and has a total of six tattoos inked on her body. Her first tattoo includes the birth dates of all her family members in Roman numerals. The tattoo is placed on her left rib. Second, she has a tattoo of her best friend’s name inked on her body. A tattoo that sits on her lower back reads ‘khud ki raah banao,’ meaning, Pave your own path. She also has an evil eye inked on her inner left wrist. The fifth tattoo is a phrase that seems to be written in the English language. The tattoo is placed above her right wrist. Besides that, she has a floral design inked on her inner right arm.

  I didn’t tell mom and dad where I got it. She found out because she was on Instagram and she saw a picture of me and a friend of mine and I was wearing a low-cut T-shirt. She was like, ‘Khushi! Did you get a tattoo?’ And I had not told her. I had just asked her, ‘Can I get one?’ She was like, ‘No, you’re not.”

• She is often body-shamed by people on social media. In 2016, Khushi took to Instagram to give a befitting reply to the body shammers. In her post, she mentioned how people should not shame each other, but should always be kind to each other. She wrote,
  

  I post my pictures because I feel good and confident. I put out these pictures not because I want to show off or try to be anyone or anything else. I have my own sense of style and my own way to think and me putting out a picture that’s accessible to so many people is taken more of an opportunity to judge me or my looks, clothes or anything else. I put something out there because it’s something I feel good about, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion but putting someone else down because of it is not making you any better of a person. Please think twice before you decide to comment on something rude or offensive, it’s not a joke. It’s sad how in this day and age where feminism is finally getting the attention it deserves, girls still feel the need to tear each other down and indulge in body shaming. I don’t care if you think my stomach pops out or if I don’t fit into your idea of beautiful, but for your own conscience please realize that having such narrow-minded opinions of people makes you an ugly person inside. I truly believe everyone is beautiful in their own way, why can’t we all celebrate that and encourage each other. There is only one of you, embrace your beauty, and don’t rain on my parade when I’m confident enough to embrace mine. I hope that whatever it is that frustrates you enough to be so cruel will one day go away, because some people might actually take your snide remarks seriously, and I know from experience it can hurt. Let’s be kind to one another, love always.”
