New Delhi: Everyone seems to be talking about the grand Archies premiere. However, Khushi Kapoor seems to have stolen the spotlight with a rather momentous move. The actor who will be making her Bollywood debut with the Zoya Akhtar film paid a tribute to her mother Sridevi by wearing a gown that was worn by the icon in 2013.
‘The Archies’ premiere is taking place at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai on December 5, and the entire industry seems to be a part of it.
Khushi Kapoor made an appearance in the off-shoulder strappy sequined gown looking the most elegant. Khushi also styled her hair in a high neat bun while she opted for a bold makeup look.
On the other hand, Sridevi wore the sequins ensemble at the 2013 IIFA red carpet back in 2013.
An IndiaTimes report quoted a source close to Khushi who said, “Khushi is extremely happy to pay a tribute to her mother as she wears such an iconic gown which was once worn by her mother. She is also wearing Sridevi’s jewellery for the red carpet. This is a very special day for Khushi. It is particularly an emotional debut.”
Khushi Kapoor will be playing the role of Betty Cooper in ‘The Archies’ which will be released on December 7. The film has been directed by Zoya Akhtar and also marks the debut of star kids Suhana Khan and Agastya Nanda.
The film also features Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Dot and Yuvraj Menda in lead roles.
