'I used to plan my life earlier, but life does not go according to a plan.' 'So now, I just go with the flow and see where life takes me.'

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Shekhar Kapur's daughter Kaveri Kapur made her acting debut in the romcom Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story. The youngster, who reveals she struggled with weight issues since 13, has learnt a lot from her parents.

Your mother Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is a singer and actress while your father Shekhar Kapur is one of the most well-known directors in the world. What are the two most important lessons you have learnt from your parents?

From my mom, it would be work ethic. She works really hard, day in and day out. The only piece of advice my dad has given me with respect to acting is to view it not as acting but as being and that has really helped me be as natural as possible. When doing a scene, I think if this was real life, how would my character think and what would she say, if there is any contradiction between her thoughts and her words. Given that I don't have too much experience of life yet, this helps me bring out the complexities in my character.
