Janhvi Kapoor made an impact on debut with her entry into Tollywood romancing NTR in his film Devara.
Now, she is romancing Ram Charan in her upcoming fim Peddi. The film directed by Buchi Babu Sana is releasing on 30 April 2026. In the meantime, Janhvi Kapoor shared her shocking experience. She said “The first time I felt sexualised by the media, I think I was 12-13 years old. I went for an event with mom and dad and there were pictures of me online. Instagram and social media had just started to boom and I found pictures of me in what seemed like a pornographic site and boys in my school were like looking at it and laughing.”
She continued “Again, I am saying this repeatedly because I think I am very apologetic about where I come from and I need to get over that. I am sure other people deal with it in a much more different sense but in a much more real and genuinely terrifying sense,”
She added “On one hand, I do like dressing a certain way and I have been brought up in a household where I don’t feel apologetic about it, where I don’t feel judged by it but I do understand that there is sentiment of a sort of character assassination that a girl faces when she dresses in a way that makes it seem like she is comfortable with her sexuality,”
She shared “But it goes against my core values as a feminist also to second guess that if I wear this, people will think a certain way,”
