Shanaya Kapoor on getting trolled

Shanaya who is the daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor spoke candidly about how comments about her appearance affect her. She shared “I think that there are different kinds of comments. If it’s something to do with my work if it’s feedback on how I’m dancing how I’m performing then even if it is really negative even if it is said in a harsh manner I take it as constructive feedback because it’s what I owe to my audience. It’s to listen to them. Maybe it’s not said in the nicest way and it can pinch you a little bit but it’s a bit of a reality check.”

How am I going to do that if I don’t know how they are feeling about me and I keep running away from that? That’s why I go through it a lot. But if it’s something to do with how I’m looking or my face or how I’m looking extra thin today or my jaw is a bit too big those are things I of course ignore. But yes it’s very important to accept that it can hurt you sometimes when you run away from that that’s when it gets a little troublesome for me personally.”
