Boney on short screen time in  Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar:  Yeh aap director se poocho
Navya Kharbanda (HINDUSTAN TIMES; August 8, 2023)

Even as all eyes are on his youngest daughter, actor Khushi Kapoor, stepping into the industry with the web film Archies, producer Boney Kapoor recently made his acting debut with Luv Ranjan’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar where he played the role of Ranbir Kapoor’s father.

The 67-year-old, who hasn’t watched the film out of “nervousness” yet, says, “Main ghabra raha hoon, samajh nahin aa raha ki maine kaam theek kiya ya nahin.” He adds that a lot of people calling him to congratulate him for his performance have also asked about his short screen time.

Reacting to that, Kapoor quips, “Dialogues ya scenes kum kyun thhe, yeh toh aap director ko poochiye. Write a letter to Luv Ranjan and ask, ‘Aapne itne achche artiste ko waste kaise kar diya?’ But mujhe toh mazaa aaya karke. It was a good and happy unit.”

Kapoor credits his children — Arjun, Anshula, Janhvi and Khushi — for encouraging him to take the plunge into acting. “They pushed me to try acting and said, ‘Papa yeh karna hi hoga’. Unn logon ki wajah se hi main ghus pada acting mein and kar liya,” says Kapoor.
