"Zoya Akhtar came up to me on set multiple times to say that I was meant to be Betty" - Khushi Kapoor

Khushi Kapoor's debut has been the talk of the town for a while now. Just a while ago, the girl was in the spotlight and set social media on fire for attending the iconic Dior Ready to Wear SS24 show at Paris Fashion Week as she was seen speaking on stage to a live audience.

In the same breath, Kapoor also opened up on her role as Betty Copper in her upcoming film debut, The Archies, on Netflix. She confirmed, "I'd like to think so. I mean I think we were cast because I was so much of us that we have in our characters, and there's a lot about Betty that I see in myself as well, and I think I found that out the more I played her. I think she's very sweet and empathetic, but I think she's also sensitive sometimes and she is really caring, but I think sometimes she can tend to put other people's needs ahead of her...so I think I identified with certain parts of her a lot like the more I played."

Speaking on the best advice she has ever got, she said, "I think as cliche as it sounds, the best advice I got was just to have fun, and I think everyone on set at some point has told me this because I tend to get in my own head a lot...I get nervous sometimes, but I think just being told to relax and have fun and Zoya, especially like so many times, she had come up to me and said, you know you were meant to be Betty, just have fun and be, and I think that which makes me feel easier. Honestly, I think it was just having that support that made it easier for me...I don't know if they gave me any particular tips specifically, but I think just having them to talk me through things and be there for me helped a lot."

On the fact that she is known for her innate sense of style and is a social media inspiration for so many people out there, Khushi said, "I don't think that there are any rules in fashion. I think if you feel good about something and if you like wearing something, then you should completely just own it and wear it. I think confidence can elevate any outfit, and ya, I think you should just do whatever makes you feel good yourself."
