The much-awaited first look poster of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, marking Shanaya Kapoor’s acting debut, was unveiled on Wednesday, instantly sparking excitement and conversation across social media. The romantic poster features Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey sharing an intimate moment on a carousel ride, setting a dreamy and affectionate tone for the upcoming film.
A Dreamy Romance in the First Look
The poster captures the lead pair seated on a carousel horse, eyes closed, hands gently clasped, enveloped in the warm glow of golden lights. Vikrant Massey is seen in a casual brown jacket and trousers, while Shanaya Kapoor stuns in a red sequined dress with a thigh-high slit, her hair flowing softly as she holds a pair of sunglasses. The image beautifully conveys the essence of youthful romance, transporting viewers into a whimsical moment of love.
The film’s production house shared the poster on Instagram, drawing enthusiastic comments from industry insiders and family alike. Actor Abhay Verma wrote, “This poster represents a lot of dreams! Can’t fathom how magical the film’s going to be.” Shanaya’s mother, Maheep Kapoor, expressed her support with heart emojis, and her father, Sanjay Kapoor, commented, “God is kind.”
Fans Split Over Age Difference
While many praised the fresh on-screen pairing, some social media users raised concerns over the 13-year age gap between Shanaya Kapoor (25) and Vikrant Massey (38). Comments such as “The age difference is showing” and “Such an outdated campaign” began trending. Others felt Vikrant Massey wasn’t the right match for Shanaya, with one user bluntly stating, “Vikrant Massey is least suited with Shanaya Kapoor.”
Fans also revisited Vikrant’s relatively quiet presence in the industry, jokingly remarking, “I thought he retired” or “He took retirement,” in light of his return as the male lead.
About the Film and Release Date
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025. The film promises to introduce a new romantic pairing to Bollywood with Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor sharing the screen. Zee Studios confirmed the release date in April via an Instagram video, teasing audiences with the line, “This monsoon, don’t just fall, but feel the love.”
As anticipation builds, audiences await to see how this fresh love story unfolds on the big screen and whether the chemistry between the debutante Shanaya and seasoned actor Vikrant Massey will win hearts despite the chatter.
