Khushi Kapoor Ready to Star in Mom Sequel Despite Her Acting Being Criticized in Nadaaniyaan

Kapanlagi.com - Khushi Kapoor, the daughter of the late legendary actress Sridevi, is currently in the spotlight after her performance in the film Nadaaniyaan received sharp criticism. Although her debut in The Archies (2023) as Betty Cooper was quite promising, the next two films, Loveyapa and Nadaaniyaan, presented their own challenges. Many viewers and critics feel that Khushi's expressions and emotions are still lacking strength.

However, Khushi is undeterred by the criticism. At the IIFA 2025 event, Boney Kapoor, her father, expressed his pride in Khushi and Janhvi Kapoor. He stated that he has watched all of Khushi's films, including Archies, Loveyappa, and Nadaaniyaan, and plans to make a film with Khushi after she releases No Entry.

“The likely project is Mom 2, continuing the story of a film that is so closely associated with Sridevi,” Boney revealed. This certainly poses a significant challenge for Khushi to prove her abilities as an actress and step out of her mother’s shadow.

Khushi Kapoor began her career in the film industry with the movie The Archies, which was released on Netflix. In this film, she plays the role of Betty Cooper and gained public attention. Although the film was quite interesting, her career journey in the next two films did not go smoothly.

"I have watched all of Khushi's films—Archies, Loveyappa, and Nadaaniyaan. I also plan to make a film with her after No Entry. Maybe it will be Mom 2. Khushi is trying to follow in her mother's footsteps. Her mother is the biggest star in all the languages she has worked in. I hope Khushi and Janhvi can reach the same level of perfection," said Boney Kapoor as quoted from Hindustantimes.com.

2. Challenges in Mom 2

The film Mom, released in 2017, is a thriller-drama directed by Ravi Udyawar. In this film, Sridevi plays a mother who struggles to seek justice for her daughter. Her stunning performance earned her the Best Actress award at the National Film Awards posthumously.

If Khushi is truly involved in Mom 2, she will face a significant challenge to prove that she can shine in the acting world without always being compared to her mother. With her family's support and experience from previous films, Khushi hopes to deliver a more mature and captivating performance in the upcoming film.
