Shanaya Kapoor, the daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, has revealed a surprising aspect of her personality. Despite being a member of Gen Z, she identifies as a true old-school romantic.

Before venturing into acting, Kapoor refined her skills in dance and acting after completing her education at Ecole Mondiale World School. She also served as an Assistant Director on 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl,' which starred her cousin Janhvi Kapoor.

In a recent interview, Shanaya shared her perspective on love and relationships in today's fast-paced dating culture.

Embracing Traditional Values

When asked about her romantic inclinations, Shanaya confessed that she had just been contemplating the same thing. She acknowledged that her generation tends to be more detached and quick to move on. While she recognizes that this is a common approach among her peers, she considers herself an old-school girl at heart when it comes to love.

Shanaya emphasized her desire for long-term relationships. She isn't interested in fleeting connections. She longs for a partner who provides a sense of home and comfort.

Balancing Personal Life and a Passionate Career

Shanaya highlighted the unique challenges faced by artists, whose work often transcends the typical nine-to-five job. The lines between personal and professional lives can become blurred.

She emphasized the importance of finding someone who can help her maintain balance. This desire for stability further underscores her embrace of traditional values.
