Janhvi reveals how her films have helped her cultivate self-confidence

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has cemented her position as a star with five diverse films in her journey of four years which started with “Dhadak”, the Hindi remake of Nagraj Manjule’s popular Marathi musical “Sairaat”.
But, despite all the noise around nepotism, she has had her fair share of emotionally taxing experiences that have added to her performances on a subconscious level in her opinion.
The actress, who made her digital debut with her second anthology “Ghost Stories”, has recently come out with yet another streaming film titled “Good Luck Jerry” which like her debut, is a remake of a Tamil film “Kolamaavu Kokila” starring Nayanthara, who recently got married to Vignesh Shivan.
Janhvi spoke to IANS about her journey, so far, the emotionally draining moments and her vision towards her filmography.
The actress wants her filmography to be defined by scripts that appeal to the audience on an emotional level, as she said: “The kind of films that I gravitate towards, have an emotional connect (sic), I want to make people laugh and cry but more than anything, it’s important for me that I move people with my ability as an actor.
“I try to include those films in my filmography that can move people and I choose my scripts, accordingly. Having said that, I really want to do a full fledged front footed comedy.”
“Good Luck Jerry” tells the story of a girl who’s trying to make it in a not so easy world and wishes that she has a bit of luck by her side.
So how much does Janhvi herself believe in luck or for her hardwork is the only vehicle to move forward in life?
A thoughtful Janhvi said: “You can’t only rely on luck, it makes you complacent. Luck does play a part in a person’s life and success but, hard work is something that materialises the success, also your outlook is an important factor.”
For her, “art imitating life happens all the time – consciously or subconsciously”.
She opines that one can’t make something that they don’t know anything about. People won’t watch it unless they feel that it relates to them.
Also, with every film that she has done, the characters go through the same journey she has on a personal level.
Taking a slight pause, she mentioned: “With ‘Dhadak’ as everyone knows, there was a huge loss in my personal life similar to my character in the film, for ‘Gunjan Saxena’ she also faced the problem where everyone told her that she doesn’t belong to a place where she wishes to be in.”
The firmness in her voice soon kicks back in: “There was so much chatter around nepotism and how I don’t deserve the opportunity that I have got. While shooting for ‘Roohi’, I felt like I needed people to take care of me, then finally realised that independence is of true essence as she goes on to marry herself. So yeah it all has been closely interlinked for me.”
Her character in “Good Luck Jerry” seems to have rubbed off on her to a great extent as she said: “Earlier, I used to play down in complicated or confrontational scenarios. But, with time I realised that I am a person with opinions, who stands by them.
“I don’t mind people not taking that in their stride with me putting forth my opinion. Through the course of this film, I have changed from a people pleaser to the one who stands by what I truly believe in,” she signed off with a heartwarming smile.

‘Alag Level Ka Craze Hoga Bhai’, After Sanam Teri Kasam, Salman Khan’s Fans Demand Tere Naam Re-Release

One thing that Sanam Teri Kasam re-release success has proved it that the audience is craving to watch good romantic films, and clearly they are not getting it now, so that’s why a re-release is getting such a good response. The Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane starrer in four days has collected Rs. 18.50 crore which is excellent. When the film had originally released in 2016, its lifetime collection was Rs. 11.10 crore, and it was a box office dud.
Now, with Sanam Teri Kasam re-release getting such a great response, fans of Salman Khan are demanding a re-release of Tere Naam. The 2003 also starred Bhumika Chawla in the lead role, and while it was an average grosser at the box office, the film has received a cult status.
A fan of Salman Khan posted on X, “#TereNaam a film if re-releases then surely gonna create more wonders than #SanamTeriKasam #SalmanKhan poured his heart & soul into ‘Radhe’ bringing to life a character that’s both traumatized & immortalized a generation. Jeevan Apna Sara Sanam.”
Another fan wrote, “If this film RE-RELEASE … 50-100Cr WW movie. #Trending #Terenaam #SalmanaKhan.” One more fan posted on X, “Ek baar Tere Naam Re-release kar ke Dekho. Alag level ka craze hoga bhai. Theatre will be filled and trend will be back again #SalmanKhan #TereNaam.”
Tere Naam was directed by Satish Kaushik, and Salman gave one of the best performances of his career in the movie. The movie was reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 10 crore, and it had collected Rs. 14.53 crore nett at the domestic box office. The worldwide gross collection Tere Naam was Rs. 22.23 crore. So, it was a hit, but an averag grosser.
During an informal meet with the media at the time of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan, Salman had spoken about Satish Kaushik’s demise, and stated that there was a plan to make Tere Naam 2.
Well, so let’s see if Salman will agree to his fans’ demand and re-release Tere Naam or not.

India’s Got Latent Controversy: Mumbai Police Summons Ranveer Allahbadia & Samay Raina Over ‘Vulgar’ Remarks During Show

Mumbai: The Mumbai police are conducting a preliminary inquiry into digital content creators Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina, who host India’s Got Latent. On Tuesday, the police sent a summons to both of them. A police team arrived at Allahbadia’s residence, located near Seven Bungalows, Andheri West, at Bay View Building, and will be questioning him and Raina there. The police are investigating a controversial video clip. In India’s Got Latent, Allahbadia made a comment that created outrage and was alleged to be vulgar and obscene. The comment faced criticism from various platforms, including political, social, legal, and women’s rights organisations.
Earlier today, a team of Mumbai Police reached Ranveer Allahbadia’s house in the city’s Versova area.
According to reports, the Parliamentary IT Panel is mulling over whether to summon Allahbadia following Shiv Sena UBT Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi’s statement on Monday, in which she stated that she would raise the issue before the Panel.
After the backlash, Ranveer issued an apology and called it a ‘lapse in judgment.’ He said, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate; it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here. Many of you asked if this is how I wish to use my platform and obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here to apologise.”

Ranveer Allahbadia issues apology, shares learnings from controversial incident

Mumbai, Feb 10: YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia has issued a public apology after his controversial remarks on the “India’s Got Latent” show sparked widespread criticism.
Allahbadia, who is known for his BeerBiceps brand, took to social media to express regret over his comment, admitting that it was “not appropriate” and “not even funny.” In a video statement, Ranveer said, “My comment was not appropriate, was not even funny, comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I use my platform, obviously this is not how I wished to use it.”
He added, “I am not going to give any context, any justification, or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just offering an apology. I personally had a lapse in my judgment; it was not cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people from all ages and don’t want to a kind of person that takes responsibility, family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect. Need to use this platform better; that’s been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to get better; I have asked the makers to remove the insensitive segment from the video. I am sorry; I hope you can forgive me as a human being.”
Sharing the video, Allahbadia wrote on his X handle, “I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s got latent. I’m sorry.”
His apology comes after he received severe backlash on social media for his vulgar comment.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also slammed Ranveer saying anyone who crosses the limits of decency will face appropriate action.
Addressing the media, CM said, “I have been informed about this, though I have not watched it yet. I came to know that it was very vulgar, and this was wrong. Everyone has freedom of speech, but this freedom ends when we encroach upon others’ freedom. Everyone has limits, if anyone crosses them, action will be taken.”
Two lawyers from Mumbai have filed a police complaint against Allahbadia.
Recently, Ranveer appeared on Samay Raina’s show “India’s Got Latent” along with other content creators like Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija. Allahbadia raised eyebrows for asking an inappropriate question to a contestant. He asked the female contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
The complaint has been lodged with the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission, with the complainant demanding strict action against the accused.
