In 2018, after Janhvi started shooting for Dhadak, Khushi had expressed her desire to become an actor. So we sent her to New York Film School in 2019. If Sridevi was around, she would have supported him like she supported Janhvi.

I didn’t tell mom and dad where I got it. She found out because she was on Instagram and saw a picture of me and a friend of mine and I was wearing a low-cut T-shirt. She was like, ‘Happiness! Did you get tattooed?’ And I didn’t tell him. All I asked him was, ‘Can I have one?’ She was like, ‘No, you’re not.’

- She is often body shamed by people on social media. In 2016, Khushi gave a befitting reply to body shamers on Instagram. In his post, he explained how people should not embarrass each other, but should always be kind to each other. she wrote,
I post pictures of myself because I feel good and confident. I didn’t put these pictures up because I wanted to show off or try to be someone or something. I have my own sense of style and my own way of thinking and I am putting out a picture that is accessible to so many people, taking it as an opportunity to judge me or my looks, clothes or anything else. I put something out there because it’s something I feel good about, everyone has a right to their opinion but putting someone down because of it doesn’t make you a better person. Please think twice before making any rude or offensive comments, this is not a joke. It’s sad that in this time and age where feminism is finally getting the attention it deserves, girls still feel the need to put each other down and body-sham them. I don’t care if you think my belly sticks out or I don’t fit into your idea of beautiful, but for the sake of your sanity please realize that having such a narrow opinion of people makes you an ugly person inside. I truly believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way, why can’t we all celebrate that and encourage each other. There’s only one of you, embrace your beauty, and don’t rain on my parade when I’m confident enough to embrace my beauty. I hope that whatever frustrates you so much that you become so cruel will one day go away, because few people can actually take your vile comments seriously, and I know from experience that it can hurt. Let’s be kind to each other, love always.”
