Shanaya Kapoor, who is the daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, hails from one of Bollywood's most prominent film families; however, her journey into Bollywood is never easy. Her debut project, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, failed to make an impact at the box office, and during this difficult period of her career, she credited her father for guiding her and providing important professional advice.

Speaking to ANI, she said, "Dad always says, 'put your head down and keep doing the work.' Vo hamesha kehte hai sache dil se kaam karo (And he always says, work with a true heart), always know that the camera catches everything. So, have an honest heart. Kyunki jab aap honest ho aur sache dil se kaam kar rahe ho to aapka acha hi hoga( Because when you're honest, and you're working with a true heart, it will be good for you). You will be able to present the character more effectively. So, he always tells me, just do good work and do it with a good heart."
