Kaveri Kapur: Working With Dad Shekhar Kapur Is ‘Intimidating’

MUMBAI- Multifaceted actress Kaveri Kapur recently spoke about working with her director father, Shekhar Kapur, in the highly anticipated ‘Masoom 2’.

Kaveri was asked about her upcoming project, which will also feature legends like Shabana Azmi and Manoj Bajpayee. She revealed that while she is excited about the opportunity, it is also a bit “intimidating” to be directed by her father.

“I’ve been on set with my dad before. He has this incredible understanding of human nature and actors. The way he guides you into the character is remarkable,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to that process, and I feel so lucky to be learning from such talented and experienced actors. It’s a huge opportunity—I’m nervous, but mostly, I’m just grateful.”

Kaveri made her acting debut with Kunal Kohli’s ‘Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story,’ opposite Vardhan Puri. When asked about her first time on a film set, she described the experience as “incredibly exciting.”

“I went in with wide eyes—I’d never been on a set before, not as an actor at least. I didn’t even know I wanted to be an actor until this film came along. But the moment we began shooting, I felt something shift. I thought to myself, ‘Yes, I’m meant to do this.’ I felt it deeply, in my soul. I had the time of my life,” she added.

Kaveri also shared her father’s reaction to her debut. “He was definitely proud of me. Of course, he gave me some constructive criticism, which I genuinely appreciated. Overall, he said I did well and that I have great potential—which I think is a fair assessment of where I’m at right now.” (IANS)
