Khushi Kapoor opens up about playing Betty Cooper in The Archies on Netflix; says, “There’s a lot about Betty that I see in myself”

Opening up about playing the character Betty, Khushi affirmed at India Today Conclave 2023 that, “I'd like to think so I mean I think we were casted because I was so much of us that we have in our characters and there's a lot about Betty that I see in myself as well and I think I found that out the more I played her. I think she's very sweet and empathetic but I think she's also sensitive sometimes and she is really caring but I think sometimes she can tend to put other people's needs ahead of her...so I think I identified with certain parts of her a lot like the more I played.”

Speaking on the best advice she has ever got, she said that, “I think as cliche as it sounds, the best advice I got was to just have fun and I think everyone on set at some point has told me this because I tend to get in my own head a lot...I get nervous sometimes, but I think just being told to relax and have fun and Zoya specially like so many time she had come up to me and said you know you were meant to be Betty, just have fun and be and I think that which is make me feel easier. Honestly I think it was just having that support that made it easier for me...I don't know if they gave me any particular tips specifically but I think just having them to talk me through things and be there for me helped a lot.”

On the fact that she is known for her innate sense of style and is a social media inspiration for so many people out there, Khushi said that, “I don't think that there are any rules in fashion. I think if you feel good in something and if you like wearing something then you should completely just own it and wear it. I think confidence can elevate any outfit and ya I think you should just do whatever makes you feel good yourself.”

Talking about The Archies helmed by Zoya Akhtar, the film is a coming-of-age musical film. The Netflix original follows the lives of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel, and Dilton, who will take audiences to the fictional hilly town of Riverdale on December 7, 2023.
