Dad Shekhar Kapur wishes daughter Kaveri a 'brilliant journey' ahead

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur praises daughter Kaveri's musical talents, sharing heartwarming advice and supporting her artistic path

"Your Destiny is a set of piano keys, but the symphony you play is your own - Shekhar Kapur"

Mumbai, June 5

Acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur wished his daughter Kaveri Kapur a 'brilliant journey' ahead.

The 'Masoom' maker took to his Instagram handle and dropped an adorable childhood pic of little Kaveri shelling out the vibe, "1’m ready to take on the world with girl power".

A proud dad penned on the photo-sharing app, "1’m ready to take on the world with girl power !’ She asserted at that young age. And she did .. now a brilliant singer songwriter , and terrific actor to boot! Have a brilliant journey Kaveri!"

She looked cute as a button in two ponytails and heart-melting expressions.

Shekhar also had a piece of advice for his girl. "Remember .. your Destiny is a set of piano keys, but the symphony you play is your own," he concluded.

In another update, Kaveri recently unveiled her next single, "Reminisce".

For the unversed, the track is one of the original versions of Kaveri's other number "Ek Dhaga Toda Maine" from her debut drama, "Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story".

However, what's impressive is that Kaveri wrote "Reminisce" at the tender age of 15.

Lyricist Prasoon Joshi successfully converted Kaveri's English composition into a Bollywood number.

Speaking of "Reminisce", Kaveri said, "One of the first people who heard it was Rahman Uncle (A.R.Rahman), who I consider my mentor, and he loved it."

She further recalled a memorable conversation with the Oscar-winning musician. "I remember when I was very young, he told me something along the lines of your art being a divine gift that flows through you in contrast to something that is coming from you. I didn’t understand it when I was a child, but I understand it now. 'Reminisce' was always meant to be an English song and I am excited for its release. It was a long time coming," Kaveri added.

Up next, the father-daughter duo is expected to work together in the upcoming sequel "Masoom 2".

That childhood photo is adorable! It's inspiring to see young Indian women like Kaveri pursuing creative fields with such passion. The piano keys analogy by Shekhar ji is so profound - typical of his poetic mind!

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope Kaveri's work is judged on merit rather than just being Shekhar Kapur's daughter. Bollywood has enough nepotism debates already. That said, writing songs at 15 is impressive!

Masoom was such a classic! Excited for Masoom 2 with this father-daughter combo. Kaveri seems talented - writing songs at 15 and getting mentorship from AR Rahman is no small thing. Best wishes to her! ✨

The "girl power" message from childhood is so relevant today. We need more strong female voices in Indian cinema and music. Hope Kaveri's journey inspires other young girls to chase their dreams fearlessly!

Rahman uncle's advice about art being a divine gift is so beautiful! Shows how important mentorship is in creative fields. Looking forward to hearing "Reminisce" - the original version must be special if it got Prasoon Joshi's attention.
