What emotional pain Dhadak actress Janhvi Kapoor has kept hidden for a long time
Janhvi Kapoor: When Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut with Dhadak, she was hailed as a rising star. While the film enjoyed tremendous success at the box office, it proved to be an incredibly difficult period for the actress personally. In a recent podcast, she opened up about the emotional pain she had kept hidden for a long time.
Janhvi had lost her mother just prior to the film's release
This phase was particularly arduous for Janhvi Kapoor because she had lost her mother, Sridevi, just prior to the film's release. On one hand, there was the pressure of launching her career; on the other, the profound grief of her personal life. She revealed that, during that time, she had become mentally fragile and was grappling with symptoms akin to depression. To this day, the memories associated with Dhadak remain bittersweet for her.
Janhvi felt that people hated her
Janhvi Kapoor disclosed that she began to feel as though the audience did not like her. The criticism she faced on social media took a severe toll on her self-confidence. She stated, "I felt that people hated me and that my career would be over before it had even begun." This fear grew to such an extent that it even cost her her sleep.
Janhvi focused solely on the negativity surrounding her
Interestingly, Dhadak was one of the successful films of that year, grossing over Rs 100 crore. However, due to mental stress, Janhvi Kapoor was unable to truly realize or appreciate her own success. She states that, at the time, she focused solely on the negativity surrounding her, which further impacted her mindset.
A Strong Artist Emerges from Struggle
Having emerged from this difficult phase, Janhvi Kapoor has proven herself to be a refined artist. She won the hearts of audiences with her performances in films such as Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Roohi, and Good Luck Jerry.
On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will soon be seen alongside Ram Charan in the film Peddi. Janhvi’s story serves as a reminder of the immense challenges artists often face behind the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. He overcame his fears and insecurities and proved himself, serving as an inspiration to many.
