Shanaya Kapoor , daughter of actor-producer Sanjay Kapoor and reality TV personality Maheep Kapoor , is finally stepping into the limelight. After much anticipation and a few setbacks, including the shelving of her initial debut film 'Bedhadak' under Dharma Productions, Shanaya will now mark her acting debut with ' Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan ', directed by Santosh Singh. The film signals a new chapter for the 25-year-old, who seems both excited and introspective about her journey ahead.

A nod to Bunny and time’s relentless flow
In a heartfelt post shared via Instagram Stories, Shanaya paid tribute to a dialogue that has stuck with her since 2013, a quote from Ranbir Kapoor ’s character Bunny in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani': “Waqt kisi ke liye nahi rukta. Beet ta waqt hai lekin kharch hum hote hain.” (Time doesn’t wait for anyone. It passes, but we are the ones who get spent.) The montage featured moments from the iconic film, subtly reflecting her emotions and perhaps a sense of gratitude after navigating the unpredictable world of showbiz.

The quote seems especially poignant considering the delays in her Bollywood debut. With a nod to the passage of time and its personal impact, Shanaya appears to be embracing the idea that every moment, even the challenging ones, shapes who we become.

Embracing life’s unplanned paths
This isn’t the first time Shanaya has posted introspective content. During a recent trip to Goa, she shared a serene photo dump filled with natural beauty, prayerful moments, and foodie indulgences. One caption stood out: “Zindagi apne hisaab se chalti hai, hamesha perfect plan ke hisaab se nahi.” (Life goes on according to its own plan, not always the perfect one.) The message mirrors her current outlook, embracing the unexpected and finding gratitude in life's twists and turns.
