Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, is being trolled on Reddit ahead of her debut film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan for calling her path to the debut a 'journey" and speaking about the challenges she faced. Many users questioned her struggles, calling them 'non-existent" and criticising her for already being a famous starkid before her first film. 'I think whatever my journey has been till now, it's taught me a lot. Whatever the fame or the pressure, with fame comes comments and criticism. I've taken it in a positive way, as feedback and learnt from it, grown from it. And I am who I am today because of my parents. They've brought me up in a certain way. Yes, my environment has been this, but I don't think I want it any other way because I'm confident today of who I am," she said in an interview with Bollywood Hungama.

Everything I think happens for a reason, everything is the way it's supposed to be for something great to happen. I'm happy, I'm keeping my fingers crossed." But Reddit users are not having any of it. One comment read, 'The only person struggling here is me and my inability to relate to her imaginary journey.
