Shanaya, daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, was earlier set to debut with producer Karan Johar's “Bedhadak”, a project that was announced in March 2022 but it was later shelved.

She is now marking the start of her acting career with “Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan”, a musical romance in which she is paired opposite Vikrant Massey. “It's a surreal feeling, and it's overwhelming when you see yourself on YouTube for now. I'm seeing myself and I'm putting my music videos on and I'm constantly seeing how it's looking, what the audience has been saying, and it's an overwhelming feeling.

"It’s all come together, and I'm happy with how the journey has been. If it's taken time, if it has had its ups and downs... I think it was all meant to happen for me to be here today,” Shanaya, daughter told PTI in an interview.
