Khushi Kapoor recalls how she bonded with Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and The Archies gang initially: “Doing acting workshops together made us open up and be vulnerable”

Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, is gearing up for the release of her debut film The Archies in December. Helmed by Zoya Akhtar, the young actress is also younger sister of Janhvi Kapoor, who had made her debut with Dhadak. At the India Today Conclave 2023 on Wednesday, Khushi Kapoor attended the panel titled ‘New Kids on the Block: Meet the Gen Z of Bollywood aka The Archies Gang’ and talked about her character Betty Cooper.

Khushi Kapoor recalls how she bonded with Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and The Archies gang initially: “Doing acting workshops together made us open up and be vulnerable”

When asked if she is a ‘goody two-shoes’ just like her character, she said, “’I’d like to think so. I think we were cast because there was so much of us that we had in our characters. There’s a lot about Betty that I see in myself as well, and I think I found that out the more I played her. I think she is very sweet and empathetic but is also sensitive sometimes. And she is really caring, but sometimes she can tend to put other people’s needs ahead of hers. So, I think I kind of identified with certain parts of her a lot the more I played her.”

When asked how long they took to ‘break ice’ with each other, Khushi added that it didn’t take much time as all of them were prepping together. “We were forced to spend so much time together, and just going through the same experience made us bond so much. I think doing acting workshops together made us open up and be vulnerable with each other. I think towards the end of the shoot we were just kind of moving in a small herd everywhere together,” she said.

The Archies include Dot (Ethel Muggs), Agastya Nanda (Archie Andrews), Khushi Kapoor (Betty Cooper), Mihir Ahuja (Jughead Jones), Suhana Khan (Veronica Lodge), Vedang Raina (Reggie Mantle) and Yuvraj Menda (Dilton Doiley). They recently did their first performance of ‘Sunoh’ in Brazil at the Netflix Tudum event.

The film is set in the 1960s, and takes audiences to the fictional hilly town of Riverdale. The Archies is a coming-of-age musical following the lives of Riverdale’s favorite set of teenagers – Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel and Dilton. Seen through the lens of the unique Anglo-Indian community, The Archies explores friendship, freedom, love, heartbreak and rebellion and is set to release on December 7, 2023.
