debut with the film Dhadak. She stars

adaptation of Marathi film Sairat. Dhadak is
slated to hit the screens on July 20, 2018.
In an interview with Reuters, Janhvi Kapoor
was asked if she reads comments on social
media. The actor was asked what does she
have to say about the hate comments she
receives.
Kapoor answered, "I do, oh God, I do.
Everyone tells me not to. But I don't want to
be one of those delusional people who think
they are doing everything right and
everything's going
good. Because everyone around me has
been so positive, that I wonder, "Is this too
good to be true?. Then I go online and read
these comments, and then I am like 'S**t,
I'm really the scum of the earth'. I think of
what that person must be going through
and thinking, that they might feel better by
pulling someone else down. No one would
say this to your face, but social media makes
us all faceless, and you don't get called out
for this."
She added, "And I've noticed a pattern,
where this kind of comment gets a
thousand times more likes than any positive
comment would get. It's horrible that people
are reacting more to negativity than
positivity. And then there are these news
portals and websites which pick them as
news with "Twitter says and "Instagram
says. Twitter and Instagram are also saying
these amazing things, but they'll never write
about that. Because they know they'll get
more views if they talk about something
negative. I think it is shitty that they are
encouraging this cycle of negativity and
frustration in people. There must be so
much dirt in your mind... I don't know. Just
be chill. Have some ice cream."
