&nbsp;&nbsp;Janhvi Kapoor has shared a strong reply after her words on a podcast were taken the wrong way. A few sites said she talked about her own addiction. Her team from Off the Rocks and Amaha quickly put out a statement. They said Janhvi is part of the talk as a caregiver and friend, not as someone who faced alcohol dependence. The statement added that wrong reports hurt her role and also disrespect people who really battle addiction. Janhvi posted the same note on her Instagram Story so fans could see the truth. On the podcast, Janhvi spoke openly about her time with alcohol. She said she is not a regular drinker. She drinks once in a few months. But during COVID there was a year when she drank more often. She made it clear she was not addicted or abusing alcohol. It happened after a tough and painful phase in her life. She said it was frequent but not an addiction. Janhvi also said she did not like how frequent drinking made her feel. One day she noticed a smell on her body. It was the same smell she linked to a loved one who struggled with alcohol. That smell meant it was not a good day. After that moment, she stopped drinking for about a year or a year and a half. Now she says she is “friendly” with it, which means she drinks very rarely and with care. Many said media should not twist personal stories. Her statement said the podcast was about support, not her own addiction. Janhvi’s fans feel she handled it with maturity and helped start a good talk about mental health and family support.
