Khushi Kapoor is once again making headlines, this time for her personal life.
The actress is reportedly dating her childhood sweetheart, Aakash Mehta after her reported breakup with The Archies co-star Vedang Raina.
Khushi and Vedang were linked for almost two years, but reports suggest they decided to part ways earlier this year.
While neither has publicly confirmed the details of their relationship or breakup, Khushi is now reportedly reconnecting with Aakash.
Khushi and Vedang reportedly end their relationship
Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina first worked together in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. Their chemistry in the film soon caught the attention of audiences, and rumours about their relationship began making rounds after their debut.
The two were reportedly in a relationship for nearly two years. According to reports, they called it quits around the beginning of 2026. Reports also said the split was emotionally difficult for Khushi and that she took time to move on. However, the actors have maintained privacy about their personal lives and have not officially confirmed the reported breakup.
Who is Khushi Kapoor?
Khushi Kapoor is the younger daughter of late legendary actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor.
Born in Mumbai in 2000, Khushi grew up in one of Bollywood’s most famous families. Her elder sister Janhvi Kapoor is also an actress.
Before making her Bollywood debut, Khushi studied acting at the New York Film Academy.
Boney Kapoor has previously revealed that she received a full scholarship for the course after her audition.
Khushi entered the film industry in 2023 with The Archies. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the Netflix film featured Khushi as Betty Cooper. The film also marked the acting debut of Suhana Khan and Agastya Nanda.
Who is Aakash Mehta?
Unlike Khushi, Aakash Mehta has largely stayed away from the entertainment industry and public attention. According to reports, he is Khushi’s childhood sweetheart, and the two had reportedly dated before she became an actress.
Recent reports suggest that the two have reconnected and are giving their relationship another chance. Aakash is also reportedly followed by some members of Khushi’s close circle on social media. However, there is limited publicly available information about his personal or professional life.
Her debut sparked a nepotism debate
Khushi’s entry into Bollywood came with a lot of attention, but it also brought the debate around nepotism back into focus.
She made her debut alongside Suhana Khan, daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, and Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan.
Since all three actors came from established film families, many social media users questioned whether star kids had an advantage over newcomers.
Khushi also faced criticism for her performance in The Archies.
However, casting director Karan Mally later said that Khushi, Suhana and Agastya had auditioned for the film like other actors.
Zoya Akhtar had also addressed the discussions around casting star kids in the project.
Her acting has also faced criticism
The criticism around Khushi did not end with her debut. Her performances in Loveyapa and Nadaaniyan also received mixed reactions from viewers and critics.
Following Nadaaniyan, she faced considerable criticism online over her acting. Khushi later spoke about dealing with such comments and said she did not see much value in paying attention to everything written about her on social media. She also said that after working in three films, she had started developing her own voice as an actor.
Khushi has been open about cosmetic procedures
Khushi’s appearance has also been a frequent topic of discussion on social media. The actress has openly spoken about undergoing cosmetic procedures, including a nose job and lip fillers.
Rather than avoiding the subject, Khushi has discussed these procedures publicly. She has also said that she does not consider the word “plastic” to be an insult. Her comments sparked conversations around cosmetic surgery, changing beauty standards and the pressure young actresses face over their appearance.
She has faced trolling over her looks
Khushi has also spoken about receiving negative comments about her appearance from a young age. She has admitted that such remarks affected her confidence and self-esteem.
After entering the film industry, discussions about her looks and cosmetic procedures became more frequent. Her decision to speak openly about the changes in her appearance has helped her address some of the speculation surrounding her.
Khushi takes legal action over misuse of her identity
Khushi recently took legal action after allegedly coming across obscene and pornographic content being circulated using her identity.
She also sought protection against the unauthorised use of her name, image and personality for merchandise.
The actress approached the Delhi High Court, which granted her protection and directed action against unauthorised content.
The development came soon after similar legal protection was granted to her sister Janhvi Kapoor.
From star kid to a young actor finding her place
Khushi has so far appeared in The Archies, Loveyapa and Nadaaniyan.
While her performances have received mixed responses, she continues to build her career and explore different opportunities in the film industry.
Now, her personal life is once again attracting attention following reports of her reunion with Aakash Mehta.
Although the relationship has not been officially confirmed, the reports have put Khushi’s dating life back in the spotlight after her reported split from Vedang Raina.
