'My father makes sure I stay humble'

She gives us a peek into her life and tells "I overthink a lot, so my father explains to me that it isn't that complicated."

It's been a decade since Aashiqui 2 released. How did that film change your life?

It does not feel like a decade, right?

The kind of impact the film made has been very, very special.

I think the fact that the freshness of it still exists and the fact that wherever I go, please still address me as Aarohi talks a lot about the impact of the film.

But hopefully, after this film, they will call me by this character's name.

Your father Shakti Kapoor had predicted Aashiqui. 2 would make Rs 100 crore and when the film achieved that milestone, he gifted you a newspaper cutting, which read, 'Aashiqui 2 100 crore worldwide'. How often do you take his advice?

I framed that newspaper cutting!

He is my father. He has seen my most stubborn side. He has handled me so patiently.

I have to say that I do fight with him and our opinions do clash at times. Then I just sit in silence and ask myself, 'What is wrong with you? He is your father, but do you know who he is, the work he has done...'

He makes sure I stay humble.

I overthink a lot, so he explains to me that it isn't that complicated.

He patiently explains things to me.

My most real self comes out in front of my father, which means that I fight with him a lot too. I fight a lot with my mom and dad.

They say you fight a lot with the people you are the closest to.

He did some fun thumkas in the Instagram Reels, which you posted.

Because of me, we had to do so many retakes! I was doing it really badly.
