Khushi Kapoor reveals how she deals with bullying

After Janhvi Kapoor’s tape became a hit, Khushi Kapoor tried her own hand at a ‘quarantine tape’, providing some rich detail into her childhood, as well as into who she is as a person.

The video is compiled with a montage of pictures featuring Khushi, her sister Janhvi Kapoor, mother Sridevi and father Boney Kapoor.

During the video, Khushi reveals what it is like to be a ‘normal 19-year-old girl’ as “I don’t think I’m the person I want to be yet but I definitely think I’m growing. It’s so rewarding to see people show so much appreciation towards me when I have not even done anything to deserve it yet. I have the power to make someone else happy, it just makes this all the more worth it.”

She also revealed that as a result of all of the criticism she got at a young age, she ended up developing ‘self-esteem issues and insecurities’.

She was also quoted saying, “People still [expletive] on me. I’m kind of shy and awkward. Obviously, sometimes, the hate gets to you, especially being so young. I just want people to know I am a real person. I didn’t really know how to handle it, so my self-esteem issues and insecurities stem from that. As a child, it affected the way I saw my parents. I didn’t look like my mom and I didn’t look like my sister, so sometimes, people would point that out and make fun of me. I wasn’t the healthiest about it at some point and it affected the way I would eat and the way I would dress.”

She concluded by admitting that with time she learned how to love herself. “You just have to learn to be okay with yourself and in your own skin. I think that the way to deal with it is to say [expletive] it and put yourself out there and do whatever you feel like doing. I feel like people will appreciate you for it.”
