Khushi Kapoor joins dance trend but faces comparisons with co-dancer in viral Instagram reel

Khushi Kapoor recently took to Instagram to share a short dance reel set to the track All The Stars. The video, which shows her confidently matching steps with a background dancer, was captioned, “Didn’t think I’d ever do a reel trend hehe just for fun.” However, what was meant as a light-hearted post has triggered a wave of divided opinions online.

While some viewers appreciated her energy and praised her confidence, others were more critical of her performance. A few comments pointed out that the dancer behind her seemed to outshine her. One user wrote, “Sorry @khushikapoor but the girl behind you is more electrifying and beautiful.” Another asked, “Uhhhh helloooo? Where was this girl hiding?” There were also supportive comments like, “Whattt!!!! so hot,” but the overall response remained mixed.

This isn’t the first time Khushi has found herself under scrutiny. After her debut in The Archies on Netflix, she appeared in Loveyapa and Nadaaniyan this year. While Loveyapa struggled at the box office, Nadaaniyan, a Netflix release starring Khushi alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan, received lukewarm responses and even sparked trolling on social media for their performances.

Khushi has not announced any new film projects at the moment. However, her father, Boney Kapoor, earlier hinted at a potential sequel to Mom, a film originally headlined by Sridevi. He suggested that Khushi might be considered for the lead role. The statement sparked criticism, with many questioning the idea of comparing or continuing Sridevi’s legacy through Khushi.

While Khushi’s reel may have been shared in fun, it has once again placed her at the centre of conversations about talent, legacy, and expectations. Being the daughter of Sridevi and sister to Janhvi Kapoor — both known for their strong screen presence — the comparisons are unavoidable. But whether the audience embraces her as an individual artist or continues to weigh her against her family’s legacy remains to be seen.
