Janhvi furious on memes targeting her mom and Dharmendra

Janhvi furious on memes targeting her mom and Dharmendra. Janhvi Kapoor vented her anger and voiced her opinion strongly against memes targeting her mother Sridevi and now Dharmendra.

She said “The phase I went through then is something I will never be able to fully verbalise,” she said. “Even if I told you everything, I don’t know if anyone would relate. I am always conscious about sounding like I am saying things to make people feel bad for me, so I refrain a little.”

She continued, “I know everyone wants a headline, and I would hate to sound like I am using such a painful part of my life—or my relationship with my mother—for that. So that always holds me back.”

She added “The voyeuristic nature of journalism, media culture, and social media has single-handedly contributed to the derailment of human morality. When I lost my mom, it was horrible. I don’t know if anyone can imagine how it feels to lose someone so close and then watch it become a meme. I don’t even know how to compute it. And it’s only gotten worse. We saw what happened with Dharam ji. It’s happened repeatedly before and will only keep happening. And we are part of the problem—every time we give such videos or headlines views, comments, likes, we incentivise this culture.”

Calling the situation “depressing,” she added, “Humanity and morality are in shambles. Earlier, we had a conscience that stopped us from seeing certain things, saying certain things, indulging in certain practices. That’s out the window now. It’s disgusting that our modern-day crisis is the loss of morality because everything has become so voyeuristic.”

She shared “I wasn’t allowed to watch TV for a lot of that phase, but things still keep coming up. It hurt me as a daughter, and it was confusing. I don’t think I will ever recover from it. But my anger wasn’t just as a daughter—it was about what we, as a society, have become. Why does anyone think this is okay?”
