Apoorva Mukhija says Nadaaniyan co-star Khushi Kapoor has insane work ethic: ‘People are really harsh with nepo babies…'
Talking about working with Khushi in Nadaaniyan, Apoorva said, 'Khushi is one of the sweetest people I have met. She has an insane work ethic. Even when we were speaking on the sets of Nadaaniyaan, she was like, 'I hope people start taking me seriously after this film.' There are people who really want something; she is one of those people, and I am sure there are great things coming up for her. She deserves it; she works hard for it. We used to shoot for 14-16 hours, and she used to still go to the gym; that's commendable. What I picked up from her was work ethic.'

Apoorva Mukhija also said that although Nadaaniyan didn't perform well, Khushi Kapoor's inspiring attitude in the face of criticism is worth praising. She added that she and Ibrahim Ali Khan are still in touch. 'Even if the end product or result might not be what you want, everybody you work with should say that you are a great person. Khushi is amazing, and we are in touch over WhatsApp. Ibrahim and I have met quite a lot, and we chill often.'
Apoorva Mukhija also spoke about comparisons between her and Khushi Kapoor's performance in Nadaaniyan. She said, 'I think it's a bias more than anything else. Khushi did great work in the film. People are really harsh with nepo babies in general. I don't think we need to put down somebody else to make another one feel better. It can be done without comparison. Apoorva did great acting, I appreciate the compliments, but the comments about how I performed better than her… we don't need to do all this.'
On the work front, Apoorva Mukhija is rumored to be participating in Bigg Boss 19 next.

Metro In Dino box office collection day 4: Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan's musical tanks on Monday, still hasn't hit Rs 20 crore
A day after it surpassed the lifetime box office collection of Anurag Basu's 2007 romantic anthology Life.. in a Metro, the spiritual successor Metro… In Dino saw its first decline in daily earnings on Monday, its fourth day at the domestic box office. The film made less on Monday than it did on its opening day of release. On Monday, Metro… In Dino collected Rs 2.5 crore, which is quite a steep decline from its Sunday (day 3) earnings of Rs 7.25 crore. The Sunday collection registered a spike from the Saturday (day 2) earnings of Rs 6 crore, which was a further increase from the Friday (day 1) collection of Rs 3.5 crore. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the current box office collection of Metro… In Dino in India stands at Rs 19.25 crore. In the process, the film has managed to surpass the lifetime domestic earnings of Sonu Sood's directorial debut Fateh, which made Rs 18.87 crore earlier this year. It's come close to beating the lifetime domestic earnings of Kangana Ranaut's solo directorial debut Emergency. The period political thriller collected Rs 20.48 crore earlier this year. Metro… In Dino continues to face stiff competition from RS Prasanna's coming-of-age sports comedy Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan, which released in cinemas on June 20. While the new release took over the holdover release this past weekend, Sitaare Zameen Par earned Rs 1.35 crore on Monday, its 18th day since release. But two Hollywood tentpoles remain the biggest money-spinners in India. Gareth Edwards' sci-fi action adventure thriller Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson, earned Rs 4.25 crore on Monday, its fourth day at the Indian box office. Even Joseph Krasinski's action thriller F1, starring Brad Pitt, earned Rs 2.5 crore, as much as Metro… In Dino did on Monday, on its 11th day at the Indian box office. Metro… In Dino is a musical romantic anthology that revolves around the bittersweet relationships of four couples, played by Aditya Roy Kapur-Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal-Fatima Sana Shaikh, Pankaj Tripathi-Konkona Sen Sharma, and Anupam Kher-Neena Gupta. It's backed by Anurag Basu Productions and Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Basu admitted that Metro… In Dino is lighter than its predecessor, Life.. in a Metro. 'When I was writing, the stories that came to me were lighter. It's not like I planned it as a lighter film. It just turned out to be that because of the stories,' he said. Also Read — 'Anurag Basu wanted me to compose for Saaya too, but Mahesh Bhatt didn't want to bet on a rank newcomer': Pritam Life… in a Metro starred Shilpa Shetty, Kay Kay Menon, Kangana Ranaut, Sharman Joshi, Dharmendra, Nafisa Ali, the late Irrfan Khan, and Konkona, who's the only returning cast member in Metro… In Dino. 'I didn't know who else is going to be there this time. I just knew Irrfan won't be there, and that broke my heart,' she told SCREEN in an exclusive interview.
