Kaveri Kapur reflects on beauty and self-worth through spoken word performance : Bollywood News

In an era where self-worth is increasingly measured in likes, comments, and numbers on a scale, Kaveri Kapur has chosen to pause and offer something different - a quiet moment of introspection. The singer, songwriter, and actor recently shared a spoken word performance on social media, reciting one of her older poems, which challenges mainstream ideals of beauty and the pressure to conform.

Kaveri Kapur reflects on beauty and self-worth through spoken word performance

The poem, shared via video, delves into how society attaches value to physical appearance, often reinforcing unrealistic standards. “Who are we really? Numbers aside…” Kaveri asks in the piece, encouraging her audience to question how much of their identity has been shaped by external expectations. Her words aim to gently dismantle the narratives that often dominate conversations about appearance and worth, especially for women.

Accompanying the video, Kaveri wrote in the caption, "Decided to recite some of my older poems because maybe it’s more impactful that way??? Also I thought this one was relevant since skinny is back in and we’re all being encouraged to hate and torture ourselves again”. Her message struck a chord for its candor and relevance, touching on the resurgence of restrictive beauty trends and the emotional toll they take.

The poem isn’t just a critique—it’s also an invitation to rethink how we see ourselves and each other. Moving beyond superficial metrics, Kaveri’s performance calls for kindness, self-acceptance, and a reconnection with one’s inner self—values often overlooked in an image-driven culture.

This isn’t the first time Kaveri Kapur has used her creative platform to explore themes of emotional honesty and self-discovery. She made her acting and singing debut in the Disney+ Hotstar film Rishi Aur Bobby Ki Love Story, where she starred opposite Vardhaan Puri. Now, as she prepares for her next screen appearance in Masoom 2, directed by her father Shekhar Kapur, there’s anticipation that she will continue to bring the same rawness and sensitivity to her performances.
