"Have not reached the point yet where films can just come to me": Janvhi Kapoor
Janvhi Kapoor who was lately seen in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil girl believes she has still much to achieve despite belonging from a B-Town family. The Kapoor girl said that she has not yet reached a point in her career where she can expect films to just come to her. She added that she has to audition for films, even within Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, and she does not always end up getting the project.
In an interview Janhvi said, “I am no one in the scheme of things to sit and think that I may end up getting movie projects and I actually enjoy the entire process of auditioning. In fact, I auditioned for films within Dharma also.” She added, “I actually auditioned for a film in Dharma only that I didn’t end up getting.”
Janhvi was launched in Shashank Khaitan’s Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khattar, which was produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Her second feature film, the recently released on OTT platform, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, was also produced by the banner.
She has also signed Karan’s next directorial venture, Takht, and another Dharma film - Dostana 2.
When asked if Karan is the one who informs her that she did not make the cut, Janhvi said, “No, the director will tell me and then Karan will also tell me, ‘For this reason…’, ‘You are looking too young’ or whatever.
“I am happy that I get the chance to audition because even that is a big deal, honestly, and you need to know that. Many people don’t even get to that stage. I enjoy that process. Even if I cannot be a part of the whole film project, I am able to shoot one scene at least”, said Janvhi.
Janhvi has been praised for her performance as former Indian Air Force pilot Gunjan Saxena in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. The film marks her entry into the biopic genre. Recently, she shared a still from the film on her Instagram page and wrote, “It’ll always be an honour to wear this uniform and to be a part of something so special and close to my heart.”
She was also a part of Ghost Stories, an anthology horror film on Netflix. The actress' future projects include horror comedy Roohi Afzana opposite Rajkummar Rao and Dostana 2 featuring Kartik Aaryan and Laksh Lalwani.
