Janhvi Kapoor has a fierce new determination and aptitude. She's taking her craft seriously and leaving no stone unturned to hone her skills. That's why, in the middle of a seemingly fluid English conversation, she often changes gears to express herself in Hindi. She is a Hindi film actress after all. The conscious recalibration will help her become more fluent with the language that she must command on screen. God is in the details, and there should be no inhibition when it comes to learning and self-growth. That's a theme that seems to dominate Janhvi's vision right now, and the same runs through her upcoming release, Ulajh, where she plays an IFS officer accused of conspiracy and nepotism. Janhvi's character must clear her name and reputation, as her family and country's image are at stake. The situation is not all that different from where Janhvi stands in her own career. She has successfully managed to step out of the shadow of her illustrious parents-the late Sridevi and doting dad, producer Boney Kapoor. But the journey for young Janhvi has only just begun. She confesses that she continues to learn and imbibe from her directors and her peers on a day-to-day basis. And she's smart enough to know that she needs to learn from those who know more than her. She's savvy enough to use her social media sway to create hype for her film releases. Beauty and brains are just two sides of the same coin. And we are convinced that this new version of Janhvi is totally untamed and uncut. Read on...
We know Ulajh means entanglement. In real life, are you the kind of person jo kisi se bhi ulajh jaayegi? Or are you a non-confrontational person?
I’m usually nonconfrontational. But it also depends on my mood. If someone decides to take up an Ulajh with me on the wrong day, then I’ll take on anyone.
