Janhvi Kapoor has often been on the receiving end. She is often trolled for her looks, acting chops, and being Starkid. However, amid all the scrutiny she has carved a niche for herself and she is totally aware of all the pros and cons that come with being under the spotlight. The actress, in the latest media interaction, has revealed that she doesn’t let the scrutiny affect her as she strongly believes that her work will speak for itself.
"I know people are waiting to point a finger at me. If I am smiling too much one day in front of the gym or paps have got it, they say ‘dekho kitni eager, kitni desperate hain’. I am having a bad day and I am having a huge pimple on my face and I look down and just walk, start my shoot or get over it, then it’s like ‘kitni ghamandi hain’,” Janhvi said at the India Today Conclave 2023.

She added, "You have to learn that in the papers today, in the trash tomorrow – it really doesn’t matter. Opinions don’t last, what lasts is your work, and what you think of yourself. All these things are not tangible.”
For those unversed, Janhvi Kapoor is the eldest daughter of renowned filmmaker Boney Kapoor and the late Bollywood diva Sridevi. The actress knows the kind of attention she has received following her Bollywood debut because of her parents. She also pointed out that the opinions do not really matter to her but it is important what she feels about herself and her work.
"It’s great that I am getting attention. Everyone loves it. But you can’t take it to your head. Relevance isn’t permanent. Whatever attention I am getting today at the start, it is because of my parents. Even now, a great deal of it, is because of the family I am born into. And maybe a little bit now, I’d like to think is because of the work I am doing. That’s what it comes down to it – work. It doesn’t come down to the shorts that I wore to the gym. Those aren’t the things I want to be known for,” she said.
