Janhvi Kapoor on the advice she gave to her sister Khushi before her debut with The Archies, “Told her to be prepared for hate but not to forget herself”

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor must have had many conversations with her sister Khushi Kapoor about this industry and social media attention. Khushi made her debut earlier this month with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies.

Janhvi Kapoor spoke about her sister Khushi Kapoor’s The Archies at recent AajTak Agenda 2023 conclave. Speaking in Hindi and English, she said, “She [Khushi] did such a wonderful job at being honest. When I was talking to her, I told her to be prepared for hate but not to forget herself in the process. I wish someone said this to me. I wish someone told me to try looking at the people that value you, like you because believing the bad is always easier.”

She added, “When someone says something bad about you, then believing that person becomes easier. It takes a lot of self-confidence to believe someone who says the right thing. Me and my sister, at times, we question ourselves a lot. I told her 'Don’t lose yourself, don’t be jaded because you’ve been very honest.' I felt her performance was very warm, there was a lot of innocence in it. She was not trying to show anything off and it is very difficult to be this real in front of the camera.”

Furthermore, she said, “I advise her every day. She is tired of listening to me. I also feel she is more sensible than me. When I debuted, the pressure was a lot more, and a lot was going on the personal front [Sridevi died five months before Janhvi’s debut film, Dhadak], I was like a headless chicken. The validation I was looking for from my mother, which wasn’t there suddenly, I started looking for it from the audience. And I put so much pressure on me that Dhadak, which was a commercially successful film and everyone gained from that film, but the social media chatter got to me and whatever decision I took for the next five years, was born out of insecurity. Slowly, I started running away from the discussion around the fact that I am my mother’s daughter.”

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will be seen in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, Ulajh and the much-awaited Jr. NTR starrer action entertainer Devara Part 1, which is releasing in cinemas on April 5, 2024.
