Shanaya Kapoor is finally stepping into the Bollywood spotlight with her debut film, "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan," and her parents, Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, couldn't be prouder. The romantic drama, also starring Vikrant Massey, is set to release in theaters on July 11th, and the recently released teaser has already generated considerable buzz.

The journey to Shanaya's debut hasn't been without its bumps. Initially, she was slated to appear in Karan Johar's "Bedhadak," but the project was unfortunately shelved, leaving her understandably "traumatized," according to her mother, Maheep. There were also reports of her making her debut in a Malayalam film, "Vrushabha," alongside Mohanlal, but that project faced delays as well. However, with "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan," Shanaya is finally ready to showcase her talent.

The teaser of "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan" introduces a heartfelt love story between a blind musician (Massey) and a theater artist (Kapoor). The film, directed by Santosh Singh and produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla under Zee Studios and Mini Films, explores the bond between two strangers. The movie is reportedly adapted from Ruskin Bond's short story "The Eyes Have It". Vishal Mishra, known for his music in "Animal," has composed the music for the film.

The release of the first look and teaser of "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan" has been met with excitement from fans and the film fraternity alike. However, some social media users have expressed reservations about the pairing of Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey, citing the age difference between them.

Sanjay Kapoor, clearly bursting with pride, commented "God is kind" on an Instagram post announcing the teaser release. Maheep Kapoor expressed her overwhelming emotion with a string of red heart emojis. Maheep also wrote on her Instagram account after watching the teaser, “My heart is bustling.” Celebrities like Zoya Akhtar, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, Deanne Panday, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni have also shared their support and best wishes for Shanaya.

At a recent event in Mumbai where the teaser was unveiled, Shanaya was visibly moved by the audience's response, with videos of her wiping away tears circulating online. Vikrant Massey, in a heartwarming gesture, acknowledged her emotions and expressed his pride in working with her, stating, "Shanaya, I know you're so overwhelmed, but I am so proud of you. I am so happy to have worked with you and I hope I get more opportunities to work with you."

Shanaya herself has shared behind-the-scenes glimpses from the film's set in Azerbaijan, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity. It's evident that she's poured her heart and soul into this project, and is eager to share her work with the world.

With "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan" slated for release on July 11th, all eyes are on Shanaya Kapoor as she embarks on her Bollywood journey. The film promises a tender love story, and with the support of her family, friends, and a dedicated team, Shanaya is ready to make her mark.
