In 2019, Arjun Kapoor had posted a candid moment of his family from his sister, Anshula Kapoor’s birthday celebrations and trolled his siblings for their expressions in the picture. Pointing an arrow at Janhvi, Arjun had written, “Promoting ghost stories @janhvikapoor aka (Dewy)” as she sat on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket. Then, another arrow was pointed towards his cousin, Shanaya Kapoor, who seemed clueless about what her mother, Maheep Kapoor and Anshula were talking. Making an arrow on himself, Arjun had written, “Watching football” and trolling his cousin, Jahaan Kapoor, he had written, “@jahaankapoor26 wants to go home.”
Speaking about her experience of working as an Assistant Director, Shanaya Kapoor was quoted as saying by IANS, "After working as an assistant director, I realised how much work goes into making a film. I learned so much about camera lenses, close-up shots, how you get into the character, how you shoot an angry scene, and what are the things that actors do on the set." Revealing the reason behind her decision to work as an assistant director rather than doing a three year long acting course, Shanaya had said, "The best education you get is by being on a film set."
