Janhvi Kapoor is on a promotional spree for
her Bollywood debut, Dhadak. The film
directed by Shashank Khaitan is set to
release on July 20, 2018.
In an interview to Reuters, Janhvi addressed
the nepotism debate. When asked if she
feels its wrath on social media, she said, "I
underestimated how angry people are. They
are pissed off. But I can't judge. I can
understand where their frustration is
coming from. It must be hard. I do feel
cornered and bullied at times. Like, "why are
you so angry? Maybe I suck, but give me a
chance.
She further added, "I feel a responsibility
towards them as well. I understand that you
feel like you have been robbed of an
opportunity that has been handed to me.
I'm sure there are people who are more
talented than me, and more good looking
than me I promise you there are. But I am
not going to pass on this opportunity just
because... It's a big deal for me. Why the hell
should I give it up? The only thing I can do is
value it and make the most of it. It is wrong
and messed up if I take advantage of it, am
complacent and think it is my birthright to
be here. I know it is not. I know I need to
earn people's love. I know I need to work
ten times harder because there is a stigma
attached to how I've gotten this
opportunity.

Its really amusing cos she got more sympathy than wrath from the audience due to the fact that her mother recently died. Most of the Sridevi fans have automatically become her fan and are eagerly waiting for her debut.

But I can already see a bit of difference in the past 3 months. Initially , there was a wave positive comments on all her public appearances, and it looked like people kind of mellowed down their reaction towards her (because of sympathy and well, too soon to be commenting harshly and come across as a douche) .. But I feel that is slowly changing, people are back to criticizing or trolling her just like any other celeb.

I am not surprised, public memory and sympathy and perceptions are very short lived in most cases. Either that or they are fickle or gullible and it isn't that hard to change.

She has been more expressive off-screen than in the promos tbh. Unless she is much better in the overall movie or she gets better after half a dozen opportunities she will get (or will be created for her) she will fizzle out.

COMMENTED THIS IN ANOTHER TOPIC - but my two cents

as much as everyone is appreciating her it's very much clear this personality of her is an act. and for people saying she is so down to earth it's cause she has to be, she choose everything from her production house to the movie she wanted and oh didn't have to audition for it either. if she had any bit of arrogance people would have hated her because she did absolutely nothing to get this role hence she has to put up this facade of being grateful !
also she better get used to the judgement - even though online she is gaining a lot of popularity people irl don't find her attractive as she is being made out to be. heck her straight profile is so plastic i wonder when is planning to stop with the fillers * even kylie stopped now

Maybe she is humble or maybe its an act. But I dont like the fact she has had so many procedures done. Its not great example to set for masses. As it can be unhealthy. She has no choice but to come across humble at this point as it well known most people dont take nepotism very well anymore. Even though many insiders are talented like Ranbir, Alia among others. I believe there are more exceptional well rounders out there. Look how we finally won a international title after so many years. Look how naturally attractive Manushi is. Far prettier then Jhanvi. I dont think it is possible for an outsider to make it in bollywood even after winning such a prestigious title anymore. It once was.
