Janhvi Kapoor is getting ready for the sporting drama Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’s premiere. The actor was featured in a new interview with producer Karan Johar and co-star Rajkummar Rao, which was posted on Dharma Productions’ official YouTube channel. Janhvi talked candidly about being “sexualized” from a young age.

What Janhvi mentioned

Janhvi responded, “I feel like this is also an aspect that I have been navigating for a long time,” when Karan questioned her about how she felt about the ongoing objectification she deals with. I believe the first time I experienced media sexualization was when I was between the ages of 12 and 13. My parents and I went to an event. I was featured in photos and social media was just getting started. When I discovered my photos on what appeared to be a pornographic website, the boys at my school just stared and laughed.

“There’s a character assassination of sorts.”

She went on, “I have been navigating it for a very long time, and it is a very weird thing to do.” I need to move past the fact that I feel like I apologise a lot for my origins. Other people, I’m sure, handle it in far more varied ways. I continue to believe that my explanation of it and my personal experiences are extremely privileged. However, it was difficult. When a girl wears clothing that suggests she is at ease with her sexuality, she is subject to a form of character assassination.
