New Revealed: Shanaya Kapoor will be assisting cousin Janhvi Kapoor on this film

Shanaya Kapoor will be assisting cousin Janhvi Kapoor in this film

Shanaya Kapoor might still have time to set foot as an actress, but she might be working with her cousin Janhvi Kapoor on a movie. Janhvi, who made her debut with Shashank Khaitan's Dhadak last year, will be working with Shanaya on the professional front for the first time.

If reports are to be believed then Shanaya has been roped in for Janhvi Kapoor's next film, the biopic on Gunjan Saxena. Janhvi also has another project - Karan Johar's Takht and we only wonder why would Shanaya choose Gunjan Saxena biopic over working with director Karan Johar.

Meanwhile, Shanaya will be turning an actor within a year. She, however, has taken the chair of an assistant director and will be shooting for the biopic in Lucknow for two weeks. Sharing a photo of Shanaya hugging daddy dearest Sanjay Kapoor, her mother Maheep Kapoor wrote on Instagram, “My baby’s gone to Lucknow for 2 weeks #MissYouAlready #AssistantDirectorsLife #LoveYou @shanayakapoor02 #ProudMama”

Shanaya Kapoor is often spotted either with her sisters Janhvi, Khushi Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor or BFFs Suhana Khan and Ananya Panday or outside her gym. Her recent outing was when she went ‘aww’ while meeting Taimur Ali Khan co-incidentally.

Shanaya is not the first person to step into the chair of an assistant director. Her brother Arjun Kapoor also began his acting career by first being an assistant director on Shah Rukh Khan’s Kal Ho Naa Ho and Salman Khan starrer Salaam-e-Ishq. He had also worked as an associate producer on his father’s films No Entry and Wanted. Soon after he got the much-needed push from Salman Khan and his father and got a Bollywood launch with Parineeti Chopra in Yash Raj Films’ Ishaqzaade.
