Children don’t show their true ambitions from the start. They first say, ‘I want to do modeling and other things. They continually stray away from their main ambitions. Finally, by the time they cross the age of 19-20, the idea that they want to act is ingrained in their minds. Who doesn’t like glamor? Who doesn’t like attention? Whether it’s entertainment, academia or sports, the world loves it. “

After Janhvi started shooting for Dhadak in 2018, Khushi expressed her desire to become an actor. That’s why we sent her to New York film school in 2019. If Sridevi were here, she would have supported her the same way she supported Janhvi.

- She is often body-shamed by people on social media. In 2016, Khushi gave a fitting response to body vibrators on Instagram. She mentioned in her post that people should not shame each other but should always be kind to each other. she wrote,
I post my pictures because I feel good and confident. I’m not posting these photos because I’m trying to show off or try to be anything or anyone else. I have my own sense of style and my own way of thinking, and me putting out a photo for so many people to see is more of an opportunity to judge me or my appearance, clothes or whatever. I put some stuff out there because it’s something I feel good about, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but putting others down because of it doesn’t make you a better person. Please think twice before deciding to comment on something rude or offensive, this is not a joke. Sadly, in an age where feminism is finally getting the attention it deserves, girls still feel the need to tear each other down and indulge in body shaming. I don’t care if you think my belly sticks out or if I don’t fit your idea of beauty, but for the sake of your own conscience, please realize that having such a narrow view of people makes you ugly inside. I firmly believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way, why can’t we celebrate that and encourage each other. There is only one of you, embrace your beauty and don’t pour water on my parade when I am confident enough to embrace mine. I hope that whatever it is that makes you feel so cruel will one day go away, because some people may actually take your sarcastic remarks seriously, and I know from experience that this can be hurtful. Let us be kind to one another and love one another forever. “
