The topic of nepotism is high in Bollywood ever since
Kangana Ranaut accused
Karan Johar and many star kids of being privileged. Following that, many new star kids are open to discuss the same and they have their own versions to tell about it. In a recent chat with Grazia,
Janhvi Kapoor speaks up on nepotism. She said, "I can’t let it bog me down because I know there are people out there who would kill for this opportunity. I understand their feelings. It feels cheated a little bit. And it won’t go away until I prove myself worthy.”
Janhvi is doing her first biopic film which revolves around the life of IAF officer Gunjan Saxena. Upon playing a lead role in films, Janhvi says, "My mom was never considered a conventional heroine. We wouldn’t call War a male-centric movie just because it has two male actors. We need to normalise female protagonists so that it isn’t a big deal anymore.”
Janhvi was very close to her mother. After her sudden demise, she showed exceptional strength and courage to hold herself together. At a previous interview with HT Brunch, Janhvi told them that her mom Sridevi was very religious. "Mom was always very, very religious. And I think I have become much more religious since she passed away (Sridevi died on 24 February 2018). I somehow feel closer to her when I do things that were so much part of her.”
Apart from Gunjan Saxena, Janhvi is also doing Roohi Aafza with Rajkummar Rao and Dostana 2 with Kartik Aaryan.
