Khushi Kapoor Opens Up On Handling Harsh Reviews: ‘If Something's Not Helping…'
Khushi Kapoor was last seen in Nadaaniyan with Ibrahim Ali Khan, which received largely negative reviews from both critics and viewers.
Khushi Kapoor recently opened up about how she deals with the negative reviews for her performances in films. She said that while she takes meaningful, constructive criticism seriously, she tunes out unhelpful negativity. She said that it is important to understand the intent behind the feedback and reviews, and she feels there is no point listening to things that aren't helping her. She was last seen in the Netflix film 'Nadaaniyan', co-starring Ibrahim Ali Khan. The film received largely negative reviews from both critics and viewers, and quickly became the subject of online memes and heated discussions.
In an interview with ETimes, when asked about how she handles negative and harsh feedback, Khushi Kapoor said, 'You can tell when you, read something or you speak to someone what they mean by what they say. I think it's important to take constructive criticism. And if something's not really helping you, I don't think there's any point listening to it."
Meanwhile, there are rumours that Khushi will be a part of a sequel to Sridevi's last film, Mom. However, Khushi remained tight-lipped about this. She said, 'I like stories. I like being a part of important and good stories. I don't think right now I'm trying to look for something actively, but I think if I read a good script and I connect to it, then I would love to be a part of it."
Sridevi and Boney Kapoor's daughter Khushi Kapoor made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar's teen musical 'The Archies', which also starred Suhana Khan and Agastya Nanda. She was then seen in 'Loveyapa' with Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan. Shauna Gautam's directorial debut Nadaaniyan marked her third film.
Meanwhile, during the silver jubilee celebrations of IIFA 2025, Boney Kapoor announced plans for a sequel to Sridevi's last film, Mom, starring his daughter Khushi Kapoor. While speaking to the media on the green carpet, Boney expressed his love for his daughters, Khushi and Janhvi Kapoor, and mentioned their efforts to follow in their mother Sridevi's footsteps and achieve excellence in different film industries.
Boney said, 'I have watched all of Khushi's films. 'Archies', 'Loveyappa' and 'Nadaaniyaan'. I am planning a film with her too after 'No Entry'. It would be a movie with Khushi. It could be 'Mom 2'. She is trying to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Her mother was the top star in all the languages she worked in. I hope Khushi and Janhvi succeeded in this same level of perfection."

Sarzameen Review: Kajol Shines In Prithviraj Sukumaran, Ibrahim Ali Khan's Chaotic Take On Patriotism
Last Updated: Sarzameen does move briskly and throws up big emotional moments but tries hard to make a statement, ending up saying nothing clearly. Sarzameen Review: Kayoze Irani's Sarzameen tries to tackle a lot – fatherhood, patriotism, trauma and radicalisation – all through the lens of a military family caught in personal and political conflict. But while the film has flashes of intensity, it loses direction quickly, never fully landing its emotional or narrative arcs. The story follows Major Vijay Menon (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a strict army man posted in Kashmir. He comes from a military background and carries the emotional baggage of being raised by a cold, demanding father. Without realising it, he passes that same pressure onto his own son, Harman (Ibrahim Ali Khan), who has a speech disorder and a deep sense of inadequacy. Caught in the middle is Meher (Kajol), a mother who understands her son's silence better than her husband's principles. When a terrorist exchange operation goes wrong, it pushes Harman in an unexpected direction. Feeling unwanted and angry, he ends up becoming a part of the very world his father is fighting against. Harman is now on the other side – a young boy turned into a weapon, willing to go to shocking lengths. The film then becomes a question of whether love – parental or otherwise – can undo that damage. The film's ideas are powerful on paper. It wants to say something about inherited trauma, about how hate grows when love is missing and about whether redemption is ever possible. But on screen, Sarzameen doesn't have the control or clarity to deliver on that promise. Characters change suddenly without explanation. Emotional beats come and go too quickly. You're left asking 'why?" far more than 'what next?" That said, the film moves fast. There's no room for boredom – something is always happening. You may not fully grasp the logic of every twist, but you're at least curious to see where it's headed. Kajol ends up being the only real saving grace of Sarzameen. Her performance is sincere and it lends the film some much-needed emotional realism. Prithviraj Sukumaran, while solid in presence and capable as always, is unfortunately let down by the film's biggest technical flaw – the dubbing. It's so jarring and out of sync that it completely pulls you out of the moment, no matter how intense the scene. Ibrahim Ali Khan is better than he was in Nadaaniyan, but he's still rough around the edges. There are scenes where he gets it right – especially in the action bits and shots when he leans into that quiet, brooding vibe that don't ask for much. He shows a bit of vulnerability too, and that helps. But when the role asks for real emotional depth, it feels one-note. Mihir Ahuja does well in a short but impactful role. Technically, also, the film does have its moments. The cinematography stands out, especially in capturing Kashmir's breathtaking landscape. Action and chase sequences are well done – gritty and effective without being over-the-top. Sarzameen does move briskly and throws up big emotional moments but tries hard to make a statement. And in trying to say too many things at once, it ends up saying nothing clearly. The script feels rushed and undercooked and character motivations are hard to follow. Watch it only if you are curious about the premise or want to see Kajol in a strong role. But don't expect a satisfying emotional arc or a coherent message.
