Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has managed to carve a successful niche for herself in Bollywood. However, she feels despite getting a lot of opportunities, she is yet to earn the respect of the audience. In a recent interview, the Mili actress expressed the same and mentioned that it is important to recognize that trauma does not always mean the struggle to put food on your table. Janhvi also asserted that think it might hurt my ego a bit to be inconsequential in a film.
Speaking with Barkha Dutt as part of We The Women event, the Dhadak actress added, “I think it might hurt my ego a bit to be inconsequential in a film. I believe I have more to offer and I want to prove to myself that I can take up new challenges and emerge from it. Somewhere it comes down to the line that ‘Mujhe mauke bohot mile hai, par izzat abhi tak nahi mila,’ (I have got a lot of opportunities, but I am yet to earn the respect) and I think that’s what I am working for, in my own eyes. It takes a lot to build perception and then break it.” ALSO READ: Janhvi Kapoor Gets MOCKED By Trolls For Her Recent Photoshoots; Netizens Call Her Boring, Say, ‘Cheap Version Of Kardashians And Jenner’
Janhvi also talked about how she dealt with nepotism and stated she occasionally feels traumatised. “I don’t know how alienating it might be for me to sit and talk about being traumatised in my designer saree, taking a first class flight to shoot a Dharma film. It is important to recognize that, but it is just as important to recognize that trauma does not always mean the struggle to put food on your table. That might be the most relatable struggle,” Janhvi further explained.
Work-wise, the 26-year-old actress will next be seen in the upcoming film ‘Mr And Mrs Mahi’. She will be seen opposite Rajkummar Rao in the film.
