Shanaya Kapoor on Jawline Trolls: “I Choose to Ignore Hurtful Comments”
Shanaya Kapoor has opened up about dealing with harsh social media comments on her looks, saying she ignores remarks about her appearance while taking work-related criticism seriously as she gears up for her next film Tu Yaa Main.
Bollywood actress Shanaya Kapoor, who made her debut last year with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opposite Vikrant Massey, has spoken candidly about facing social media trolling, especially comments targeting her appearance.
“I Choose to Disregard Such Remarks”
In a recent interaction with Zoom, Shanaya said she actively engages with audience feedback but draws a clear line when comments turn personal. She shared that remarks about her jawline or physical appearance are things she consciously chooses to ignore, even though they can be hurtful at times.
Why Audience Feedback Still Matters to Her
The actress explained that she seeks audience approval and believes understanding people’s opinions is important. However, she admitted that constantly navigating online reactions can be emotionally challenging, especially when comments cross into personal territory.
Work Criticism Is Taken Seriously
Shanaya revealed that she treats criticism about her acting or dancing very differently. Even harsh or blunt feedback about her work, she considers valuable. According to her, such comments act as a reality check and help her grow as a performer.
Mother Is Her Biggest Support System
When negative comments affect her emotionally, Shanaya turns to her mother, whom she describes as her closest friend. Confiding in her helps the actress regain perspective and emotional balance.
Tu Yaa Main Trailer Turns Heads
Shanaya Kapoor will next be seen in Bejoy Nambiar’s survival drama Tu Yaa Main, co-starring Adarsh Gourav. The film is an adaptation of the Thai action-horror movie The Pool and promises an intense blend of romance and survival.
A Nostalgic Nod to Khoon Bhari Maang
The recently released trailer opens with a meta reference to Rekha’s iconic crocodile attack scene from Khoon Bhari Maang. This sets the tone for the chaos that follows, hinting at danger lurking beneath the surface.
Two Influencers, One Deadly Trap
The story follows two content creators from vastly different worlds. Shanaya plays Miss Vanity, a glamorous social media influencer, while Adarsh Gourav portrays Aalaa Flowpura from Nalasopara. Their professional collaboration soon blossoms into a fragile romance.
Romance Turns Into Survival Horror
The mood shifts when the duo head out on a vacation. What starts as a relaxed poolside moment quickly turns terrifying when a crocodile appears, trapping them in the water and launching repeated attacks.
High Tension and Brutal Climax
As escape attempts fail, tension escalates. A chilling exchange referencing Khoon Bhari Maang adds dark humour before the trailer ends on a grim note, with Shanaya’s character injured as the crocodile attacks again.
Valentine’s Week Box Office Clash
Produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma under the Colour Yellow banner, Tu Yaa Main is slated for a February 13, 2026 theatrical release. The film will clash with Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj’s O’Romeo at the box office.
