Janhvi Kapoor
Asking for a friend: how does one become a nation’s sweetheart? 23-year-old Janhvi Kapoor seems to have mastered the art form—only two movies into the film industry, and one horror series on Netflix—quickly becoming a force to reckon with. It’s not just that she is the daughter of celebrity parents, the late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor; or that she commands a bevy of flashlights while on an errand run; or has the kind of face you’d see in a vintage Bollywood film. In a conversation with Brides Today, the covergirl lets in on the little things that make her the quintessential star—her determination coupled with a sprinkling of winsome quirks (re-enacting her favourite movie scenes in front of the mirror, included), vulnerabilities, dreams, and a childish spirit to enjoy the little things…
Behind the glamour, Janhvi is every bit the girl-next-door, who likes to “look cute” in photographs on social media, who stands by her girlfriends as the ultimate wingwoman, and dreams of what her perfect wedding would look like (an intimate affair in Tirupati). Read on to get to know the Dhadak actor, and perhaps, fall in love with her…
Brides Today: What all has been keeping you busy, lately?
Janhvi Kapoor: Work—it has started in full swing! Although I’m not shooting, the prep has started; also, auditions, discussions on projects, some photoshoots, some travel… It’s beginning to get hectic again. I had almost forgotten what that felt like.
