Actor Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the “biggest misconception” about her, adding that people think she takes her “status” for granted. In a new interview, Janhvi said that she may not be “the most talented or the most beautiful”, but she is the “hardest working person on set”. Janhvi is the daughter of late actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor. She made her film debut in 2018 with the film Dhadak written and directed by Shashank Khaitan. The film also stars Ishaan Khatter, Ashutosh Rana, Ankit Bisht, Shridhar Watsar, Kshitij Kumar and Aishwarya Narkar among others.
In an interview Janhvi said, “People think I take my position for granted. That’s the biggest misconception they have about me. They think because I’m privileged, I don’t realize what it’s like to work hard. Maybe not being the most talented or the most beautiful; I may not have many skills to offer; but I can promise you that I am the hardest working person on the set. And that’s something I can put in writing in my blood, so don’t ever doubt my work ethic again.”
Talking about her career choice, Janhvi added, “I can’t do the same thing over and over again because I get bored easily. I hate repeating things and I have to challenge myself because that’s when I know I’m growing. Otherwise I feel like a waste of time.” After Dhadak, Janhvi appeared in Ghost Stories and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020), Roohi (2021). She was last seen in Good Luck Jerry directed by Siddharth Sen. She got good reviews for her movie OTT. The film also featured Deepak Dobriyal, Mita Vashisht, Neeraj Sood and Sushant Singh.
Janhvi has several projects in the pipeline, including the Mahi couple. The film, which also stars Rajkummar Rao, is set against the backdrop of cricket. Directed by Sharan Sharma, Karan Johar is behind it. Janhvi also has Bawaal with Varun Dhawan. She recently wrapped up the Nitesh Tiwari directorial shoot in Poland. Bawaal is slated to hit theaters on April 7, 2023. The actor is also prepping Mili, a survival thriller directed by Mathukutty Xavier. It is a remake of his own Malayalam film Helen (2019). Produced by Boney Kapoor, the film also stars Manoj Pahwa and Sunny Kaushal.
