By: Tupaki Desk | 21 Jan 2026 2:34 PM ISTShanaya Kapoor, born November 3, 1999, in Mumbai, is an emerging Indian actress and the daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, niece of Anil Kapoor. Growing up in a film family, she assisted on Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020) before pursuing acting. Her journey reflects the new wave of star kids blending privilege with determination.
Her movie debut came with the romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (July 2025), opposite Vikrant Massey, where she portrayed a blind character, earning mixed reviews but praise for her fresh screen presence despite commercial challenges.
The striking photo features Shanaya in a sultry emerald green halter-neck gown with a daring cut-out midriff, ruched draping, and asymmetrical twists that accentuate her toned figure. Her sleek high bun, bold red lips, gold earrings, intense gaze, and poised stance against a moody dark backdrop radiate sophisticated sensuality and modern glamour. Captioned "croc-coded," it cleverly nods to her upcoming survival thriller involving a crocodile twist, blending fashion with film intrigue.
Currently, Shanaya's spotlight is on her second film, the survival-romance thriller Tu Yaa Main (February 13, 2026), directed by Bejoy Nambiar, co-starring Adarsh Gourav as rival content creators facing deadly dangers (including crocs) in the wild. She also has Bedhadak (announced for 2026, Dharma Productions) and potential additions like Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (December 2025), marking her rapid rise in Bollywood.
