Janhvi Kapoor Revealed
Janhvi Kapoor said, “I feel like this is also an aspect that I have been navigating for a long time. I think the first time I felt sexualized by the media was when I was 12-13 years old. I went to an event with mom and dad. There were pictures of me in the media, and social media had just started. I found pictures of me in what seemed like a pornographic site, and boys in my school were like looking at it and laughing.”
Janhvi Kapoor added further, “I think I am very apologetic about where I come from, and I need to get over that. I am sure other people deal with it in a much more different sense. I still think the way I am explaining it and my experiences of it are very privileged. But it was complicated… There is a sort of character assassination that a girl faces when she dresses in a way that makes it seem like she is comfortable with her sexuality.”
If we talk about her upcoming movie, Janhvi’s Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is ready to hit the theatres on 31 May 2024.
