There is no doubt about the fact that if you belong to a Bollywood family, you get the first chance in the industry quite easily. But then as they say- only your work thereafter will either make you or break you. But hard work is always a prerequisite whether you are a nepotistic child or an outsider. It seems that Shanaya Kapoor has decided to take the path of hard work rather than the easy way of directly getting launched into a film.

Shanaya Kapoor, who is an assistant director on Gunjan Saxena's biopic, will reportedly make her Bollywood debut soon as an actress in The Zoya Factor. However recently, when her father Sanjay Kapoor was asked about the same, he was quoted as saying, “Honestly, I really don’t know when that will happen. She has just finished her 12th standard and she’s working towards it. But she hasn’t signed anything till now; she’s too young. Hopefully, soon enough."
He had further added, “I do feel protective about her. She has a private account on Instagram. But few things are beyond our control. She’s a young girl who will go out for movies or to restaurants. We’re not going to lock her up in the house just because a photograph will get clicked."
Sanjay Kapoor, however, had recently confirmed about Shanaya Kapoor's venture into the Kargil Girl. He had said, "It's true that Shanaya is now in Lucknow and working as an assistant on Janhvi’s film. It was a joint decision. She was very keen on doing something different to understand the space, rather than just wasting time. Before she wanted to take up a film, she didn’t want to be abroad for a three-year course. Instead, she chose something personal like this. Obviously, I’m always there to guide her. Nothing in life is better than experience."
He had further refuted rumours that Karan Johar has signed Shanaya Kapoor for one of his films, "There’s no truth to that. She’s just assisting on his production venture. She has not taken a call on anything yet. Yes, she’s definitely getting ready for a Bollywood career. Hopefully soon, she must work hard and land a good film. We will all wait for that. I just want her to concentrate on this for now."
Shanaya Kapoor turned 19 last year on November 02, 2018. The doting father, Sanjay Kapoor had taken to his Instagram handle to share the following picture, and he had written, “Happy birthday Shanaya. Always keep smiling like this, my love."
