Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’ alongside Rajkummar Rao. The ‘Dhadak’ star recently participated in a conversation on Dharma Productions’ YouTube channel moderated by producer Karan Johar. In the video, Janhvi recalled the time she was sexualised at the tender age of 12-13 and how pictures of her ended up on a porn website.
Janhvi said, “The first time I felt sexualised by the media, I think I was 12-13 years old. I went for an event with Mom and Dad and there were pictures of me online. Instagram and social media had just started to boom and I found pictures of me in what seemed like a pornographic site and boys in my school were like looking at it and laughing.”
“It is a very weird thing to navigate and I have been navigating it for a very long time. I think I am very apologetic about where I come from and I need to get over that. I am sure other people deal with it in a much more different sense. I still think the way I am explaining it and my experiences of it are very privileged. But it was complicated… There is a sort of character assassination that a girl faces when she dresses in a way that makes it seem like she is comfortable with her sexuality,” she added.
Janhvi`s `Mr and Mrs Mahi` is a film that`s high on cricket, drama, and love. It is directed by Sharan Sharma, who is known for `Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl`. It will hit the theatres on May 31.
She also has `Ulajh` in her kitty. Directed by National Award winner Sudhanshu Saria, the patriotic thriller film also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew, of `The Poacher` fame, in lead roles. Produced by Junglee Pictures, the project follows the journey of a young IFS officer, belonging to a prominent family of patriots, who gets embroiled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while far from her home turf, at a career-defining post. It also stars Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, Sachin Khedekar, Rajendra Gupta, and Jitendra Joshi in pivotal roles.
