Janhvi Kapoor Feels People Were Confused About Capability Post Dhadak Says, "I Could Gauge It From The Offers I Was Getting"

Actress Janhvi Kapoor is slowly but steadily finding her feet in a crowded film industry and says that she is on the lookout for opportunities where she can do her best. The actress who is just films down in Bollywood already has a packed lineup ahead of her with films from different genres.

Talking about whether she’s trying to prove that she more than just a pretty face with her film choices, Janhvi tells Hindustan Times, “In my time in the film industry so far, people are quick to slot you in whatever they feel. After Dhadak, I don’t know if people really understood what I am capable of, that was quite confusing. Although I am very happy with the fact that the film did such business, it was a mixed sentiment after the release. I could gauge it from the offers I was getting. After Gunjan, I am getting all similar author-backed, female led roles. If people want to see you in a certain light, they will always see you in that. I am just trying to find new things.”

The actress also spoke about the fierce competition one has to face in the industry and told the publication, “Competition means different to different people. It may not be necessarily box office numbers. If you know, you know, maybe it’s an award, or the feeling that you are loved by audiences. When you have that, you just know. When they own you, like they owned my mom (late actor Sridevi), you feel you belong to them.”

Janhvi is ready to serve variety to her fans with upcoming films like Dostana 2, Good Luck Jerry and Roohi Afzana. Talking about her offbeat choice of films the star kid mentioned that while she doesn’t mind singing and dancing she also wants to do films that she would like to watch and so far her two films have been challenging characters she has liked.
