Do you remember when Janhvi Kapoor became a name with whom you were acquainted? For us, it was because of a picture the actor had posted on her Instagram in 2017; a cherubic shot, with her dressed in a white chikankari kurta and hair, scooped up in a pony. The picture circulated so widely that, to this day, we cannot think of her without conjuring up that image. She had made her profile public – a prerequisite for someone who was about to be vaulted into the public consciousness as a new actor, scrubbed her previous profile clean of posts, as is the ritual, and inundated the space with stills from Dhadak, her debut movie, to announce her arrival to this brand-new world. Four years later, the Gen Z actor is leading the pack of fresh-faced, multi-faceted stars who also know the power of social media – Janhvi’s reels are a work of art, period.
