Janhvi Kapoor, who debuted in the 2018 film Dhadak, is actively promoting her upcoming movie Ulajh. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Kapoor humorously responded to compliments about her acting, joking that she was “paying people to say it.” When asked about her evolution as an actor, she remarked that it’s up to the audience to judge her performances.
“How can I sit and say about myself, ‘I have become very confident; I am giving very good performances’? I can’t say it myself,” Kapoor said. She added, “Paise khilwa ke bulwa rahi hu (I am paying them to say it).”
Addressing social media speculations about her public relations efforts, Kapoor commented on the frequent accusations that praise for her is orchestrated by her PR team. “Whenever I see someone praising me even by mistake on social media, they keep saying, ‘This must be her PR.’ I say ‘no I don’t have enough budget to pay people to compliment me,'” she explained.
Work Front
Ulajh, slated for release on August 2, 2024, features a star-studded cast including Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, and Adil Hussain. The film centers on Suhana Bhatia, played by Kapoor, as she navigates the complexities of her personal and professional life.
Janhvi Kapoor was last seen alongside Rajkummar Rao in Mr & Mrs Mahi. Besides Ulajh, she is working on the Telugu film Devara Part 1, where she stars with Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
Kapoor’s lighthearted approach to criticism and her focus on letting her work speak for itself highlights her confidence and evolving maturity as an actor. As she continues to take on diverse roles, her upcoming projects are highly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
