Legendary actress Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor is trying to make her mark in Bollywood. The young actress has impressed the audience and critics with her performances in films like Mili, Good Luck Jerry, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and more. However, she still faces online trolling, primarily for bizarre reasons.
Janhvi Kapoor opens up about constantly being criticised
At the India Today Conclave on Saturday, Janhvi opened up about being ridiculed for almost everything she does. She said, “I know people are waiting to point a finger at me. If I am smiling too much one day in front of my gym, they say, ‘Dekho kitni eager, kitni desperate hain (look, how eager she is and how desperate she is).’ If I am having a bad day, have got a huge pimple on my face and want to look down and just walk, start my shoot or get it over with, then it’s like ‘Kitni ghamandi hain (how proud she is).'”
Janhvi Kapoor on getting attention because of her parents
She further added, “Opinions don’t last, what lasts is your work, what you think of yourself. All these things are not tangible. It’s great that I am getting attention. Everyone loves it. But you can’t take it to your head. Relevance isn’t permanent. Whatever attention I am getting today at the start, it was because of my parents. Even now, a great deal of it, is because of the family I am born into. And maybe a little bit now, I’d like to think is because of the work I am doing. That’s what it comes down to it – work. It doesn’t come down to the shorts that I wore to the gym. Those aren’t the things I want to be known for.”
On the work front, Janhvi will be next seen in sports drama Mr and Mrs Mahi. She will then star in Bawaal alongside Varun Dhawan. Also, the actress is all set to make her South debut opposite RRR superstar Jr NTR.
