Talking about his daughter Shanaya Kapoor’s ‘struggles,’ Sanjay says that she once had to avoid paps as they would be intrusive and keep clicking her.
Sanjay added that Shanaya had to ‘travel extra’ to visit her friends or watch a movie so that no one would click her photos.
Sanjay’s remarks haven’t gone over well on the internet, and for all the obvious reasons. Labeling stars as delusional, people reminded Bollywood to keep a check on their privileges.
Maheep and Sanjay Kapoor’s daughter, Shanaya Kapoor, was announced as the lead in an upcoming Dharma film, ‘Bedhadak.’ However, the film was reportedly put on hold for a while.
Shanaya has also worked as one of the assistants on Janhvi Kapoor’s Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. In the Netflix movie, her cousin Janhvi played the lead role.
