Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of legendary actress Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, has made her mark in the film industry through a variety of roles that showcase her talent. She began her acting career in 2018 with Dhadak, which was a commercial hit and introduced her to a wide audience.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Journey: From Dhadak to Complex Roles
Since her debut, Janhvi has chosen roles that defy typical expectations for Bollywood actresses. Her filmography includes projects like Ghost Stories, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, and Bawaal. These roles highlight her commitment to portraying strong, complex characters. Despite criticism for being a product of nepotism, Janhvi continues to choose roles that allow her to demonstrate her acting skills. Director Vikram Bhatt recently praised Janhvi for carving out a unique space in a male-dominated industry.
Vikram Bhatt’s Praise: Redefining Success in a Male-Dominated Industry
In a conversation with News18, Vikram Bhatt expressed his admiration for Janhvi. He noted, “I really admire girls like Janhvi for their determination and choice of roles. She has consciously decided not to cling to a male star or settle for being the second lead to a lesser-known hero.” This statement highlights Bhatt’s respect for Janhvi’s independence and refusal to conform to conventional roles.
Addressing the nepotism debate, Bhatt added, “Her films revolve around her. She’s had the opportunities to showcase her abilities, and that’s something I truly admire.” Bhatt’s viewpoint emphasizes that talent and dedication should be recognized, regardless of an actor’s background.
He further noted that Janhvi is redefining success in the industry. “She’s striving to do something different. That’s far more sensible than simply chasing success at the expense of being a non-entity in a film,” Bhatt said.
Janhvi Kapoor has an exciting lineup of projects ahead. She will star in the highly anticipated pan-India film Devara: Part 1, alongside Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan. She will also appear with Varun Dhawan in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
