During Loveyapa’s promotions, Junaid Khan revealed having one “complaint” about his co-star Khushi Kapoor.
He said, “I have one complaint from Khushi Ji. Like I am a professional actor too. I used to come on time but she always reaches half an hour before the assigned time. It’s annoying. If there is a call time of 6:00 am, she reaches sets at 5:30 am. She always arrives early while I always come on time.”
Khushi Kapoor had the perfect explanation for Junaid Khan’s claim. She revealed, “I get tense even if I am only five seconds late. My hair stylist and make-up team always message me not to come before them. It is a habit that I developed from my childhood. I always come early. Sometimes, the generators start after I reach the set.”
Khushi Kapoor, the daughter of legendary actress Sridevi, made her showbiz debut with The Archies. Directed by Zoya Akhtar the 2023 Netflix film was based on The Archies comics. Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina and Agastya Nanda were part of the project as well.
