Khushi Kapoor made her acting debut in 2023 with The Archies, but the film received mixed reactions, with many viewers expressing disappointment. Her performance did not gain widespread appreciation, and the casting choices faced criticism. However, as she prepares for the release of her second film, Loveyapa, she has no regrets about her first project.
In a recent interview, Khushi was asked if there was anything she would want to change about Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. She responded that, from a marketing perspective, it should have been made clearer that the film was meant for a younger audience. She maintained that she wouldn’t want to alter anything about the project and believed the film was intended for a specific age group, particularly those under 16. According to her, the younger audience enjoyed the movie the most, and she felt that not every film needed to cater to all viewers.
Khushi also emphasized that she had no regrets about The Archies, as she had learned a great deal from the experience. She credited Zoya Akhtar for everything she had gained from the film and expressed a deep emotional connection to both the project and the people she worked with.
Previously, in another interview, Khushi admitted that she felt more pressure regarding her second film than she did with her debut. She explained that this time, she had given her best performance and felt a greater sense of responsibility. Unlike The Archies, which premiered on an OTT platform, Loveyapa would have a theatrical release, bringing the added challenge of box office performance.
