At the age of 10, Samaira has become the fifth generation of Bollywood’s most famous Kapoor
family to step into the film industry. Be happy, a short film by Samaira,
was screened at the 19th International Children’s Film Festival of India (ICFFI)
under the Little Directors’ category.
In the film, Samaira showed her acting skills and played a key role as a cinematographer. She was also involved in scripting and editing. Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim and Shekhar Kapur’s daughter Kaveri Kapur are also part of the creative team of the film that was made two years ago.
“It’s great opportunity for young children and I am happy Samaira is part of something like this,” Karishma said. The actress said more than film-making, it was the moral of the story, which was
beautiful. It is the story of a girl who is out shopping, and begins to feel jealous of other children who buy expensive items that she cannot afford. Later, when a child tries to snatch her jacket, she realises that someone else was feeling jealous of her as well.
Asked what she would like her daughter to become, Karisma said they would support her in becoming whatever she chooses.
