Finally, when they cross the age of 19-20, the thought that they want to act grows firmly in their minds. Who doesn’t love glamour? Who doesn’t like attention? Everyone in the world loves it whether it is in entertainment, academia or sports.”

- He is often shamed by people on social media. In 2016, Khushi took to Instagram to give a befitting reply to the body slammer. In his post, he mentioned how people should not shame each other, but should always be kind to each other. He wrote,
I post my picture because I feel good and confident. I put these pictures out not because I want to show off or try to be anyone or anything. I have my own style and my own way of thinking and I release pictures that are accessible to so many people take more chances to judge me or my looks, clothes or anything. I put something out there because it’s something I feel good about, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but putting others down because that doesn’t make you any better than someone. Please think twice before you decide to comment something rude or offensive, it’s not a joke. It’s sad how in this day and age where feminism is finally getting the attention it deserves, girls still feel the need to tear each other down and indulge. I don’t care if you think my stomach is sticking out or if I don’t fit your idea of beautiful, but for your own conscience, please realize that having a narrow opinion of people makes you an ugly person. I truly believe everyone is beautiful in their own way, why can’t we celebrate that and encourage each other. There’s only one of you, embrace your beauty, and don’t rain on my parade when I’m confident enough to hug me. I hope that whatever frustrates you for being so mean will one day go away, because some people may take your sarcastic remarks seriously, and I know from experience it can hurt. Let’s be good to each other, love always.”
