Fashionista Sonam Kapoor gushes over Shanaya’s adorable childhood video

Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor couldn’t help but gush over Shanaya Kapoor’s adorable childhood video, which she shared online. The clip quickly went viral, prompting reactions from her mom, Maheep Kapoor, father, Sanjay Kapoor, and cousin Sonam, who couldn’t help but gush over the throwback moment.

Taking to her Instagram handle, Shanaya shared an adorable video of herself as a little girl wearing a tiger costume and playing with her parents. In the clip, her doting mom Maheep can be heard asking her to pose for a picture, but the little girl stubbornly refuses to cooperate. Shanaya’s father, Sanjay, can also be heard saying to his little girl, “Who is that cheetah? Ohh...”

Reacting to the video, Sonam wrote, “Cutey.” Maheep commented, “Always firing me right from the beginning.” Bhavana Pandey also posted, “Loved the firing you gave.” Sanjay Kapoor commented, “Roar.” Meanwhile, Shanaya is gearing up for her Bollywood debut with the film “Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan,” directed by Santosh Singh.

The movie, inspired by Ruskin Bond’s beloved short story “The Eyes Have It,” will see Shanaya playing the role of a theatre artist, alongside Vikrant Massey, who portrays a blind musician. On January 30, Shanaya shared an update on social media, marking the completion of a filming schedule for the project. She posted a picture of a clapboard and a cake, both featuring the words “schedule wrap,” to celebrate the milestone.

Filming for “Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan” began in Mussoorie last October, with further shoots scheduled in Europe. While an official release date is yet to be confirmed, the film is expected to hit theatres in mid-2025.

Shanaya was initially set to make her debut with Karan Johar’s “Bedhadak,” alongside Lakshya and Gurfateh Parizada, but the project was reportedly shelved. Aside from “Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan,” Shanaya will also be seen in the upcoming “Student of the Year” web series, produced by Dharma Productions. The actress also has the pan-India film “Vrushabha,” co-starring Mohanlal, in the pipeline.

Meanwhile, Sonam on Valentine’s Day has penned a note for her “forever crush” Anand Ahuja, whom she loves more than “online shopping.” Sonam took to her Instagram, where she shared two pictures posing with Anand, whom she is forever grateful to have. In the first picture, the couple are seen smiling at the camera as they posed.

Anand picked up Sonam in the second photograph and were seen laughing as they got clicked. The actress and Anand began dating in 2016. They had first met in 2014 through their mutual friend Pernia Qureshi. They tied the knot in May 2018 in a traditional ceremony and welcomed their son, Vayu, in August 2022.

Sonam made her acting debut in 2007 with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film “Saawariya”. She was then seen in several films including “Raanjhanaa”, “Neerja”, “Aisha”, “Pad Man”, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, “Veere Di Wedding”and “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” among others. She was last seen in Shome Makhija’s film “Blind”, a crime thriller film directed by Shome Makhija.
