"There’s a lot in Betty that I relate to..."
As we usher in 2024, Grazia India kicks off the year with a fresh face on its cover – Khushi Kapoor.
Despite being at the dawn of her career, Kapoor is already showing signs of a promising future in the industry.
The cover features Kapoor in a dazzling ensemble of sequinned bandeau, skirt, and an embellished belt, all from AFEW Rahul Mishra.
Complementing her attire are enamel diamond earcuffs from RAF, drop enamel earrings and flower charms from Love Letter, and rings from Misho.
The stunning photograph is captured by Sushant Chhabria, with fashion direction by Pasham Alwani and words by Pratiksha Acharya.
For many millennials and some Gen Zs, the Archies comics were a staple of their teenage years.
Khushi Kapoor’s portrayal of Betty Cooper in the live-action adaptation has been a nostalgic journey.
Kapoor shares: “I think there’s a lot in Betty that I relate to… the things that Betty would do are things that Khushi would do.”
At the cover shoot, Khushi Kapoor’s personality shines through.
She’s agreeable, quick to laugh, and exudes a certain charm that is reminiscent of her late mother, the legendary Sridevi.
Despite coming from a film family, Kapoor is humble and emphasises that she is still learning and growing in her craft.
In her second look, Khushi Kapoor is seen in a knitted dress by Shivan & Narresh, accessorized with a horn tooth onyx necklace from Tara Fine Jewellery and a pendant necklace from Love Letter.
The third look features Kapoor in a one-shoulder blouse from Verandah, paired with shell earrings from The Line.
In her fourth look, Kapoor is seen in a cotton popeline shirt and embroidered organza shorts, both from Valentino.
For her fifth and final look, Khushi Kapoor dons a taffeta cropped blouse from Malie, paired with crochet high-waisted trousers from Cuin.
The look is completed with a symmetrical cuff from E3K Jewellery and a stone-encrusted cuff from Love Letter.
Khushi Kapoor’s journey in the film industry has been a learning experience.
She shares: “I felt like I had so much more knowledge about small, minute details that I wasn’t aware of earlier.
“So many technicalities that you pick up while filming that are so innate to the process.”
Above all, Kapoor has learned the importance of maintaining a positive attitude.
She believes that a good mentality can change everything.
“It’s all about your mental state and how you come to set, how you treat people on set, and the energy you keep around you and for yourself and for people that you’re working with.”
As we look forward to the trendsetters of 2024, Khushi Kapoor is certainly one to watch.
With her talent, charm, and positive attitude, she is poised to make her mark in the industry.
