Every year, numerous star kids try their luck in Bollywood, with some achieving massive success and reigning over the industry for years, while others find their careers limited to a handful of films. One such star kid is Sanah Kapur, who debuted 10 years ago but has yet to find the success she sought, while her very first film bombed at the box office, derailing her career before it could even take off. Even her superstar brother couldn't salvage her career. We're talking about Sanah Kapur, who is the step-sister of Shahid. Kapoor and the daughter of acting maestros Pankaj Kapur and Supriya Pathak.
Debut with 'Shaandaar' and Box Office Disappointment
Sanah Kapur began her acting journey in 2015 with the film 'Shaandaar', while the movie starred her step-brother Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. Makers had high hopes for the film, and its songs were widely appreciated by the audience. However, 'Shaandaar' performed very poorly at the box office, turning out to be a major flop, while this failure meant that Sanah also failed to carve out a niche for herself in the industry, remaining miles away from stardom ever since.
Legacy of Acting Maestros: Her Parents
Sanah Kapur was born into a family deeply rooted in acting. Her father, Pankaj Kapur, and mother, Supriya Pathak, are considered among the finest and most renowned artists in the acting world, while sanah grew up in an environment where discussions about acting and art were commonplace. Naturally, she decided to pursue a career in acting, while she debuted in 2015 alongside her step-brother Shahid Kapoor and father Pankaj Kapur in the same film. However, despite starting her career under the shadow of such prominent family names, she didn't receive any significant advantage.
Following the failure of 'Shaandaar', Sanah remained absent from the big screen for nearly three years. She then appeared in 'Khajoor Pe Atke' in 2018 and 'Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi' in 2019. Unfortunately, success continued to elude her in these ventures as well. In her 10-year career, Sanah has worked on a total of 7 projects, including 2 short films. Regrettably, she has not achieved a single hit film in these 10 years, leaving her career in a continuous struggle.
Family Bonds and Personal Life
Sanah Kapur shares a very loving relationship with her step-brother Shahid Kapoor. Their deep affection for each other is often evident in their family photographs. Sanah herself has openly spoken about her family on several occasions and frequently praises her brother Shahid Kapoor. On the personal front, Sanah Kapur was recently in the news for her marriage. Three years ago, she tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend Mayank Pahwa. Mayank also hails from a film family; his mother, Seema Pahwa, and father, Manoj Pahwa, are both veteran and well-known actors in Bollywood. Interestingly, Seema Pahwa directed 'Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi', one of the films Sanah acted in.
