What truly pushed her to the brink?
Hit Film, Hidden Hurt
Shocking: ‘Dhadak’ a Hit… Yet Janhvi in Depression! Is This the Real Reason? Janhvi Kapoor revealed that despite her debut film ‘Dhadak’ being a hit, she went into depression, primarily due to loneliness after her mother Sridevi’s death and relentless criticism on social media. While entering the film industry with a legacy might seem easy, enduring the subsequent pressure is far from simple.
Janhvi Kapoor, who made her Bollywood debut as the daughter of the ethereal beauty Sridevi, recently shared her bitter experiences during her debut film ‘Dhadak’ in an interview. She revealed that even though the film was a super hit, she suffered from severe mental depression. Her career began amidst extremely tragic circumstances, as her mother Sridevi passed away just a few months before her first film was released. Even before she could recover from that grief, ‘Dhadak’ was released and achieved box office success. However, Janhvi stated that this success brought her no joy. “There was a huge void inside, the absence of my mother. At that time, none of the praises from the public could console me,” she expressed with sorrow.
Stronger Now: South India Bound
Even with the film’s success, the criticism she received on social media deeply disturbed Janhvi. She was terrified by comments suggesting she got the opportunity solely due to nepotism and that she couldn’t act. “I strongly believed that people outside hated me. I felt my career was over, and I wouldn’t be able to survive in the industry,” she recalled about those days, describing her mental breakdown. Since childhood, Janhvi always wanted her mother to praise her every endeavor. After Sridevi’s death, she yearned for that validation from the audience. However, with everyone criticizing her, she felt lost and helpless. She stated that even if a hundred people praised her, a single criticism would affect her more deeply than the positive remarks. She clarified that the loneliness she experienced at that time pushed her into depression.
Janhvi revealed that those difficult days have now made her stronger. She has learned how to handle criticism and maintain self-belief. Now, she is not just confined to Bollywood but is busy with a series of major projects in South India, particularly in Tollywood. She is preparing to entertain Telugu audiences with Ram Charan’s film ‘Peddi’. It remains to be seen how much this film will entertain the audience. Janhvi Kapoor has learned a great deal from the circumstances that once pushed her into depression, and she is now moving forward with a string of opportunities in Tollywood, with hopes for her future budding.
Looking Ahead
Janhvi’s journey proves resilience, turning personal battles into strength. Her embrace of Tollywood, especially with Ram Charan’s ‘Peddi’, marks a promising dawn. We predict she’ll not just entertain, but carve a profound and lasting legacy in South Indian cinema, connecting deeply with our audience.
