She also disclosed that her father, Shashi Ranjan, harbored aspirations of becoming an actor but was the sole individual in his cohort at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) who couldn't make it as an actor. Among his peers were luminaries like David Dhawan, Satish Kaushik, Gulshan Grover, and Shatrugan Sinha.

Akansha emphasized that her father understands firsthand that merely associating with actors isn't sufficient; one must carve out their own path for success. She echoed this sentiment, affirming that she has imbibed the lesson of self-reliance in her journey as well.

“I have been friends with actors, but I never expected them to help me out in any way. I know my journey and my circumstances. I am familiar with failure, but I have never imagined seeking help from my friends in the industry. I want to be able to make it on my own,” Akansha Ranjan Kapoor added.
