Janhvi Kapoor reveals father Boney Kapoor hurt due to trolling over Gunjan Saxena, Sister Khushi is super cool

Janhvi Kapoor's film, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl released a couple of days ago, however, it continues to be at the centre of backlash amid ongoing debate around nepotism. The movie has been subjected to a lot of trolling online, however, there are some who are standing up for the cause that the film celebrates, trying to explain why the movie doesn't deserve to be trolled.

Meanwhile, Janhvi recently spoke about how her sister Khushi Kapoor and father Boney Kapoor have reacted to the trolling she has had to face. The actress went on to say, "My sister is supremely cool and strong, so she is like, ‘Just don’t give a sh*t, it is fine.’ But you have to exercise more sensitivity because there is a bigger thing at play and bigger emotions at play that everyone is dealing with. I don’t want to ever come from a place where I am like, ‘Oh, sympathise with me, I am being trolled’ because everyone does have their journey."

However, unlike her sister, father Boney is hurt, reveals Janhvi. She said, "Yeah, it hurt my father, but he had seen the film much before and his belief in my performance, and the film was so strong that he was not so affected by the social media situation. That gave me a lot of strength as well. There were a couple of days when he was literally stalking me in my house because he did not know how low I was feeling. But after the initial day or two of feeling bogged down by it, it fuels you. At least, for me."

Meanwhile, Janhvi also spoke about being worried if the film's criticism will affect her career, and she added how it was a worry in the beginning, however, she later learned a valuable lesson. She added how the fear is always going to exist given that one is performing for the audience, however, by the end of the film's shooting, she learned how self-belief and hard work will get one anywhere while also adding how the trolling during Dhadak was worse.
