Dj Khushboo Kapoor: My mother has inspired me in all ways

Anchor and celebrity Dj Khushboo Kapoor believes sky is the limit when it comes to achieving success.
Who inspired you to choose deejaying and anchoring as your profession? As a single parent, my mother Asha Kapoor has always been a very inspiring figure for me. She has motivated me a lot. She is the one who always stood by me and encouraged me to be a model then anchor and DJ.I used to be a very shy person and had stage fear during my school days. However, when I participated in a fashion show at the age of 12 and I won it, I gained a lot of confidence. This was the turning point and then there was no looking back. Till now, I have done more than 3000 shows as a DJ and anchor across the globe and I am madly in love with my profession.
What is the most amazing part about being an anchor ? I love the applause from the audience. Whenever I host a show, I make sure that my audience is entertained. The most lovely part is being on stage and making my audience do a lot of fun things. As I am a fun loving person by nature and the best part of my anchoring skill is the humour which I specialise in. It is always good to feel and see the love and lots of applause from the audience. Signing autographs and getting the pictures clicked with my fans make me happy.
You've got featured in high-end magazines and dailies. How do you feel about it? It feels great to get featured in a lot of magazines. It’s actually the return of my hard work. I work 24*7 with no weekly offs and no time for vacations. Getting featured is a kind of an applause and appreciation for me. Making people dance on my music and then entertaining them with lots of humorous interaction is not an easy task. I am a restless soul. I feel happy and satisfied only if my audience and fans are happy and enjoying my presence on the stage. I feel blessed to see that many freshers in the industry take me as a role model and want to follow my footsteps.
You are a celebrity Dj and all party lovers around country know about you. What is next ? I am going to release my single soon as a singer where you will see all my avatars. You will get to see me as a DJ, model and singer. I am working on its music these days. 7 country tour is also in pipeline where I will visit 7 countries and will have shows there as a DJ.
As an anchor with whom you had share the stage? Some of your major events? I do shows across India and abroad. As an anchor, I have shared the stage with almost all the Bollywood and TV celebrities. As I have hosted Champions League 20-20 , One day International Cricket Matches, BCCI events and IPL parties, I shared the stage with all cricketers across the globe. I host government international conferences, political events and award ceremonies. Hence, it gave me a chance to share the stage with the VVIP's from India and abroad. To name a few I have hosted shows in the presence of Former President Honourable Pratibha Devi Singh Patil, Narendra Modi ji, M.S. Dhoni, Amitaabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Salman Khan and lots more.
When you were starting your career what all came in your way? I started my career with the remuneration of Rs 500 for a show. I have always been passionate for my work. I struggled but remain confident. Initially many people ditched me in payments because I was a fresher and didn't know how to tackle and how to cope up. But with constant and consistent efforts, everything got settled. When you start something afresh , some unprofessional people try to cheat with you but later on people came to know about your worth.
You are quite beautiful. Do you have plans to enter in Bollywood? We heard that Subhash Ghai had himself honoured you on the behalf of whistling woods. What was it about? It was a moment of sheer happiness when I got a letter from Subhash ghai ji on behalf of Whistling Woods International stating that he want to honour me as a Young Achiever of 2012. Its a moment of proud because from billions of aspiring girls and boys who want to enter in Bollywood, he selected me on the basis of my talent and achievement. I do have plans to kick start my innings in Bollywood very soon.

Its a city which is colorful in every way, be it food, its music and its people . I will showcase the beauty and peace of pink city in my upcoming album very soon .
