'I feel I have more of a voice now because I've done three films'
Talking about her journey so far, the actress who debuted with
The Archies
shares, "I feel good. It is always nice to keep learning, growing, and putting out new work. The reward for me is doing the work. It's nice to just get new opportunities and explore different roles and keep doing that.'
Has the love for acting evolved over the three films? She explains, "The love (for acting) has always been there from the beginning as I've grown up around movie sets.
The comfort definitely grows and you become surer of the choices you're making. I feel I have more of a voice now because I've done three films. I can express my ideas and thoughts a bit more. Whereas I think initially when I had just started, I would just kind of be quiet and listen. So now I feel like I can tell that it's a more collaborative process when I work with people because I feel like I can express my thoughts."
She adds, "Most of the work happens when you prep for a film, when it comes to character development and stories.
I'm able to express my perspective of what I think my character would be and do and just kind of have a collaborative process with my directors."
'The negatives are always going to be there'

Her performances have received mixed to bad reviews; however, Khushi knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to feedback. Khushi explains, '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.'
I like being part of important and good stories

's last movie. '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," Khushi tells us.
'My go-to person for anything is always Janhvi'

While she recently turned heads as the showstopper at the
Bombay Times Fashion Week
's Grand Finale, Khushi insists her approach to style is instinctive, not strategic. 'I don't think I feel any pressure when it comes to fashion. The whole point of being fashionable is being authentic to yourself. When you're authentic to yourself is when people recognize you as someone who has a sense of style in fashion. It comes with comfort and just feeling yourself and confidence.
So, I don't think I would change it to fit into anyone else's idea of what fashion should be.' And when it comes to fashion fixes or quick advice, her inner circle stays tight-knit, 'My go to person is always Janhvi (Kapoor, actress, sister) when it comes to anything. And then Rhea (Kapoor, stylist, cousin) Didi for fashion advice.'
