This interview is the result of having an excellent interviewer...one who asks intelligent questions which brings out the real, raw, human behind the actress. This interview made me really respect Jhanvi. Well done!
Dok Champa wtf interviewer makes u like janhvi ? you like food made by your mom just bcoz it brought by ur dad??
U r absolutely rt
i totally agree the interviewer done a great job
He's just asking the same thing again & again. She expalined herself in the first 5 mins. Guys a weirdo no EQ.
She is so raw! And that’s what makes her beautiful.
"i think it's brave to be naive" says everything about Jhanvi. I know she'll go a long way like her mom, Sridevi ji.
Initially I didn't like her, but over period of time seeing her simplicity and honesty have started liking her. She is not show off, very down to earth lady
I felt the same
unlike Ananya lol
@Urban Legend nothinh wrong with that either. Its her body,her choice.
Ikr she's so cute and extremely humble watch her more interviews and no filter neha season 4 ... You'll love her , she's one of the most decent actress I've ever heard of, people hate her unnecessarily but the reality is she has a pure heart.
Dude it's an act! This whole sansakaari thing is not real! They club, drink, run after boys. Don't let them pull wool over your eyes
She is so pure hearted. Don't know why people hate her so much unnecessarily.
Janhvikapoor is indeed a very noble hearted person as met & a very beautiful Actress as seen in tinsel town and such talent would let go all buzz off regards to haters or dislikes or vice versa.... The only living that she can do to ensure, would turn out ideally is to work smart and honest which can translates her on screen & rest are all silly to even think..... Above all Janhvi Kapoor is a loving actress & soon start inspiring the general.
Dont think anyone hates her.. i have read only positive feedback and love for this girl
Yes also she is beautiful
True
She is indeed a beautiful person . Give her time she is still new comer. She can better. God bless you.
reading all these positive comments and praises for Janhvi Kapoor, my heart is swelling with pride. Way to go, Sridevi's baby girl! 😍
Micky Abraham why,r u her mom.
Now things have changed
@@tweetyrocks7686 😂good question
@@tweetyrocks7686 work on your insecurities
She is so honest and real, not trying to be perfect all the time, by saying the right thing or the smartest thing that people applaud her for. I've rarely seen a celebrity this real and willing to show her vulnerabilities. In the world where everything seems planned and strategized Janhvi is a breathe of fresh air. She is all heart.
I love all the wards you said about Jhanvi and this is the fact actually. Love her down to earth personality
I don’t why now I really very like janhvi really she’s down to earth like her mom and I hope she marked her name in Bollywood and we all should support her she’s really great human being and I hope she improved her acting skills also and waiting for her upcoming movies
I loved her before because she's Sridevi's daughter.. but now I really love and admire her for who she is.. absolutely pure hearted and genuine.
She mentioned Money Heist, Pakeezah, Umrao Jaan, Mughal-E-Azam (and more) all in one interview. Woman of my dreams 😍 damn
Hahah same. ❤😍
😍😍❤️
I doubt if you are a man of her dreams.😂
Lol she knows those answers are what we want to hear. In reality she's watching punchnama, golmaal and happy new year rofl
@@champflowahbomb7630 aagaya hate philaane star kid against
I don't know why she gets so much hate. I personally think her interviews are pretty pleasant to listen to.
I love her. She is a very self-aware and sweet person
I love her i feel like she is not fake and she is just a pure soul
Me also thinking this
bcz people are just to judge her but she is so cute
Yes she is
At least she is truthfull. She really has her honesty.
No doubt about that , shes more talented than many
🙂👍 😀🖐️
zero talent
To woh to rakhni hi padegi..sabkuch bana banaya taiyar thaali pe jo mila hai
I think I love her more now that she accepts she didn’t struggle to get into the industry unlike some people... she accepted that she had the privilege given to her easily and that she wouldn’t for a second take it for granted. People should give her chance, she’s new and she’s learning. If she takes this seriously, she’ll become a good actress... stop hating her just for the fact she’s in the industry because of nepotism... nepotism happens in every industry. In a corporate office, in the education system, movie industry... she seems very wise and mature and I think her parents especially her mum, did a good job at raising her and her sister.
She is such a fresh breath from all the noise of Bollywood
So true
Betty Jane yes
Betty Jane how beautifully put!
Yes, nothing more fresh than a breath of nepotism
Haha she is a product of nepotism.
She never plays a victim game that's a good quality.
After all she is the daughter of Sridevi who was not only the great actor bt was a kind hearted human being... always down to earth even being the Superstar....She is like her mother...
This is someone that SHOULD BE A STAR. She is honest and humble.
She is more mature than before and more convincing...Her command over language and her expressive thoughts are really elevates her status to different level...her forthcoming films will prove her talent as an actress like the world's lady superstar SRIDEVI who dominated Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi for 4 decades as child be artist and heroine from Black and White to court to the advance technological l.era..
She's so calm and endearing. The way she accepted her flaws is commendable coz many actresses of her age are not willing to acknowledge their faults and privileges. She's cute and I'm really looking forward to her films ❤️
13:32 17:07 Janhvi had many times accepted her privilege unlike Ananya Panday who feels she has struggled so much in life.
Slow claps for Ananya.😂
Take a bow for Janhvi.🙌
Ananya also told in many interviews that she is privileged.please don't spread hate
@@sandhyakumar28 lol.look at roundatable
she seems much concerned about her work like her mom, Bless you honey.
I feel like Sara is very cunning and smart, she knows exactly what to say to be liked by the audience while Jahnvi is very honest, says whatever is on her mind lol.
Always Relatable haha yeah so right I’m totally agree with u well said 👍
well said and on point. I definetly feel that whatever Sara says is very calculated and she know exactly what to say for people to like her
I agree, seeing Sarah going to TEMPLE recently in this coronavirus time she just wants to be liked by public and want to show HEY LOOK IM SO RELIGIOUS. She could have hid her face and worship quietly but NO she decided to announce to media AHEAD OF TIME.
I don’t think you should compare the two girls they are different in their own way
💯
What a well raised girl.So humble.so genuine.so real.Not any actor ever has touched my heart like she does.
No loud obnoxiousness or gyani pseudo-intellect. Sridevi raised a her beautifully!
Urban Legend I didn’t say anybody else’s name. If the shoe fits, lace it up.
Only if i knew what these two phrases mean...
@@direnbhatsavesoil9628 just praise
Finally i think with this people understand that she is a person of dreams, talent,perseverance, beauty with heart speaks honestly rather than like some other actress who overreact and overact
Janhvi is a perfect example of "still waters run deep"❤️. The dark horse among social media yapping over smart counterparts of her.
My God...this interview almost made me emotional..I love her and her honesty. if she stays like this she will become a brilliant actor one day.
She is real and has more depth in terms of understanding herself and the art of cinema...she is trying and has evolved a lot from her first movie. Lot of people cried fowl saying she is nepotism product but she is far from it. She is working hard and is very visible from her choice of movies unlike an intellectual actress who is surviving basis her interview skills.
Absolutely correct! And the intellectual one, instead of working on her craft is trying to forget how she overacted and ruined a beautiful film😣
@@aaship2106 Yes, the worse was when she said she spoilt the scene becoz she didnt look beautiful in it...🤣... that shows she has a very different view of bieng an actress.
@@arpitamudi7219 exactly, her definition of an Actress differs a lot from Janhvi's definition, which I'm really grateful of
AGREED.
@@aaship2106 Who are you talking about and which film?
Her mother has instilled in her strong south indian qualities like now showing off and be humble
Honestly don’t care what anyone says she’s a pure soul. She’s honest and down to earth. Whereas Sara is smart she cunningly knows ways to make people like her.
I've always loved her. There's something about her voice and i cam see the honesty in her eyes. I think she's the only actor who doesn't act off-cameras. Everything about her is so pure and refreshing. Way to go Janhvi Kapoor!
When we see her.... We always remember Srideviji. Only for Sridevi we love her and Khushi forever.
Yeah now we can see our lovely srideviji in both of her so we should support her ❤️🥰
We love her for who she is
i never hated her.. she is always lovely and real like all of us.
Her acting in Ghost Stories surprised me . Didn’t know she had acting chops. Must have got it from her legendary mama.
Ok just watch gunjan sexana
Janhvi is extremely talented and I can surely say, she has a bright future in indian film industry.
New superstar in making.
I wish her all the luck and success.
Sridevi ma'am ki zhalak dikhti hai janhvi mein.
I love to see how overly modest and humble she is. Even though she's so privileged, and she's STILL down to Earth. The fact that she addresses this, and goes on to say how she should be grateful about the fact that she was born in such a family, and not take it for granted that she can get all of this easily, atleast compared to other people in the industry. The number of times she reiterated the words : "I think" is sole testament to how her perspective towards the world is. She believes in her statement, while repectfully telling the world that "This is MY opinion, if it offends you, I'm sorry, but this is how its going to be". She did say that she's not a big intellectual, or an intelligent human being, but all these traits, humility and wisdom, and most of all her being honest with her followers, is proof enough that she might just be (she is). :)
I mean, as far as I've seen her (which isn't much), I feel that she's quite sensible, and even though she might not know what she's doing, she knows where she wants to get to finally, what her destination is and what she's destined for. She knows how to express herself while not hurting the sentiments of others. And, personally, she's the kind of person, one would like to take on a date (getting ahead of myself here, presumptuous - 100), and get to know better over a cup of joe, speaking freely, genuinely and candidly.
I have also noticed that she speaks freely and openly, but also speaks sense. She doesn't speak gibberish, she takes the time with her words. One can actually feel the those words being filtered from her brain to her mouth.
Last but not the least, I think she's extremely pretty, she carries herself with such grace, and she might not even know the amount of beauty she harnesses, but it's a godly amount, and that's one of the many things that make me go head over heels for her.
Much love to her, and everyone reading this.
Damn, this is a whole love letter dude
OMGGG EACH AND EVERY WORD IS MEANT FOR HER I CAN'T-
True!
I am really amazed and moved by the way you personify her with such detailed description so beautifully and wonderfully even she might not have happened to receive such compliment from any of her well-wisher.Actually, you put words to all my thoughts which were dwelling in the back of my mind while assesing and listening her. Great job....:-)
She speaks from heart, not mind... And this makes me admire her... She is real though maybe called rude, arrogant but she is just like how she feels... She never pretends
She is very down to earth. I wish, she also acts down South like her mother to make her acting skills stron
Her skin is flawless😍😍
Janhvi Kapoor, a brilliant actor in the making. I love how expressive her eyes are, the innocense, the vulnerability, the honesty and how they speak volumes❤️
She is such an awesome person.. not only is she absolutely gorgeous.. she is so genuine & raw & humble. Loved this interview
Tbh Janhvi was a bomb in Ghost Stories 💟. Her acting in 30 mins of Ghost Stories was better than Sara's overacting in Love Aaj Kal😂
Really true
Yesss true😍
So so trueeee
I love this! Heartfully....
@Bobble Head exactly!! I too felt the same way.
After watching Bawal, Mili,.I became her fan.Her face is so innocent.Her acting skills are so Organic.Stay postive people will talk nepotism and bad about your family.Concentrate only on positivity.
Also, I just realised that this is Sridevi’s house.
Definitely like her better than all the other actresses in India.
She's so beautiful and has such a positive energy also her love and passion for cinema can be seen in her eyes when she speaks. All the best janhvi long way to go❤️
Aanchal Singh yeah right agree with u
She will get hurt if she get involved with kartik aryaan
so glad to see Jhanvi is as soulful and honest as her Mom Sree Devi - Jhanvi has been nurtured so well. BBC Asian Network; thank you for sharing (:
She is such a pure heart and we can see in her eyes😍
More power to her for being so vulnerable and owning it, there is so much power in being real and staying authentic. Eventho sometimes I too wish she was a little savage, i'm glad she's being her true sensitive self. I relate to her personality a lot so this is comforting
She is a pure soul...makes me want to cry..
She has a very calming and likable presence, Jahnvi. Despite her privilege, she has experienced more than her share of sorrow and heartbreak: losing her mother at such a young age who was no doubt her guardian, her mentor, her friend. I was honestly very worried and sad for Jahnvi but I am so happy that she took that sorrow and, based on her upcoming projects and the way she is so dedicated to honing her craft, channeled that into growing. I seriously wish Jahnvi all the best and lots of success. If she continues to work hard, maintain her beautiful humble personality and stays true to her passion, I think she will go far :)
she is extremely shy even nervous for the sake of shynes but she has no other problem this girl she pure hearted
People can hate on her as much as they want, but let’s accept the fact that she’s the only one that can act amongst ananya Sara and Tara
Well I guess Tara can act . Just go with Suraj pancholi, athiya, Sonam,
I agree
Tara can act
Umm yeah right but Tara and janhvi 👌👌❤️
Among ananya,Sara,Sonam,Suraj
Her simplicity is her strongest weapon. People talk shit about her but is just so amazing 👏 😍
the location is Green Acres Apartment, Lokhandwala (Sridevi ma'am home) where I met #Sridevi Ma'am 4 years ago!!! #RIPSridevi Ma'am!!! I miss you so much!!! 😥😥😥
I watched the ghost stories and the best thing about it is janhvi's acting....she is good
janvi is the so pure and whenever I see her, I miss sridevi even more...we love you janvi and be like that...
I think other actresses have to do a lot of make up to do an interview but jhanvi is so honest that she is still sleepy but she doesn't did any makeup
And the plastic surgery she did?
@@champflowahbomb7630Oh please! The profession that Janhvi has is of an actors whose n.o 1 quality is to be picture perfect.
Anyway, What is she has done? Deepika, Anushka, Kajol, Kareena etc... everybody has done then you guys want say anything but if any star kid does anything you troll them for absolutely no reason. I mean why
@@starxlove4407 hahahaha relax now. The people you mentioned didn't get work done. And valid criticism is not trolling. It's the truth
@@starxlove4407 anushka got her lips done and I hate it! She can't move her face anymore
She's so calm and fun at the same time ☺️
She is much much better as a person. Love her honesty.
Really innocent and sweet girl.dont want her to get lost in the Big bad Bollywood
Dekha Yaar Sridevi ki Beti, the torch has been passed on to the right hands
Shes very humble and that came across before she even entered the industry. She has a solid understanding of cinema. If sridevi was alive she would see her daughter blossom. I watched DHADAK off chance and found both ishaan and her performance great.
i like Janhvi's movie choices and her love for the art of cinema !
Very humble, honest and genuine. Sridevi did a great job as a mother, as well.
Janhvi Kapoor, who resembles her mother a fair amount, is making every effort to prove herself through her films. Unlike others she is a different person from her too, her intentions with her work is the same. The kind of hard work & beauty maintenance she put in, has been inculcated in her by DNA, and conditioning. She is not here vying for stardom; She is here to do good & satisfactory work.
I don’t why now I really very like janhvi really she’s down to earth like her mom and I hope she marked her name in Bollywood and we all should support her she’s really great human being and I hope she improved her acting skills also and waiting for her upcoming movies
All people representing themselves as victim but this girl confessed that she hadn't done anything to be loved by audience ❤
She is in the art so much ❤
I wish world to you ❤
I don't know why people criticize her due to the plastic surgery she had undergone. All the gorgeous looking actresses had undergone plastic surgery at this time . At least she is not fake and trying hard to learn new things . I really appreciate her efforts and her dancing skills 😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
Sara Ali Khan is just another Sonam Kapoor, which is ironic because the true kapoor is Jahnvi Kapoor... Srideviji brought her up very well
I love her authenticity. I hope she'll always be brave enough to show her real heart and people accepting the way she is. In order to get liking she doesn't have to pretend someone else, ever hopefully.
I miss her mom being by her side now , with her immense experience she could gave some nice brutal facts to her about her input in the industry just survive and succeed .
She is diva ... she is so natural all time ... so much mature in this age and she knows what she want ... alll the vvvvv best jahnavi .. bless u from Bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Urban Legends even diamond requires some sharpening .. so can’t judge anyone.. thanqqqq sir
No fake accent, no rudeness, this girl is just so natural! Love love love! Lots of respect for her.
Jahnvi......I love ur honesty and sensitivity...People who can share their insecurities, which everyone in this world has, are much more stronger than they think of themselves.....maybe sometimes people around you are very much protective about you because they love you.....but as you also said that you are going to have your own path..it clearly says a lot....I am super sure that with new experiences you will become better and better.....and I can see you in a colourful saree walking to receive her NATIONAL AWARD one day......dont be restless in the meanwhile....I know you have family but keep someone close to you whom you can hug anytime and share everything........Balaji and ur mom's blessings are always there with you.........love you......keep smiling......
Well brought up .like her simplicity she is hardworking she will reach the same heights as her mother
U look like ur mom janvi , ur moms eyes u have very beautiful gorgeous girl indeed .rest in peace shridevi
See her simplicity and those jhumkas!
One of her best interviews. Good luck.
She is the most real among her contemporaries
Just want to give her a warm hug for who she is.
I hope everything she works for, pays off soon enough . What a soul !!! If she was in any other profession, we, as her audience, would miss out on such innocent intellect we get to experience from time to time. Always looking out for anything with you in it. Pure delight to be able to watch you pour you heart out and to see how genuinely meaningful words flow out of you. All heart and more !!!
She has done a very minimal Make up Very natural. I like her personality of being humble Simple & Honesty
Bobble Head
This is no makeup makeup look
Bobble Head there is it’s minimal
err, she and her sister both had nose jobs, look at older pics. not judging her, but you have to realise that bollywood distorts society's concept of what beauty is
What an intelligent, beautiful and sincere girl.
She is really very beautiful and humble girl
it was really a meaningful interview ....
and for Janvi i must say she is very calm and keeping the energy to the film release... and it will happen... at right time ... best of luck....
Wow, she is so real, honest & pure just like her mother. The way she speak , so graceful. It's so nice to see that she is not putting on act like other actress. Dont worry Janhvi u definitely have India's love! ♥️
She is soo pure hearted.... Can feel that honesty in her words....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Jhanvi looks very promising. She has that child like innocence, and she really knows what she wants. A very true artist. Year 2020 certainly belongs to her. Can't wait for her movies to release. Good luck Jhanvi.
She is so pure hearted, can feel that honesty in her words.
She is such a gem person❤❤ I love her a lot! she's humble, she's graceful, she's mature..she's herself.. that's more important. Sridevi has raised her very well...
Jhanvi Kapoor is really very innocent and very kind hearted person I love the way she speak .... Newcomernewcomer she is the only one she has the bundle of knowledge of old films of 6Os and many more that's great about the her...... She is the best actress among all new comers... She is best within herself..... Hope I get opportunity to meet her ....
Janhvi you’re an amazing person. You just seize us all with that pure innocence. So glad god gave us you especially in these tough times. God bless you abundantly. From an Indian sister from Malaysia.
Learning that she is so much professional and motivated in her life even after facing the loss of her mother .. it's commendable , life affirming and gesture of being a strong lady.. kudos to you Jhanvi.I salute you
She is definitely going a long way...
Her humility and real ness is what makes her relatable. She acknowledges her privilege and is serious about her craft and career. I cant wait to see her display the acting prowess that she’s passionate about learning.
My lovely Sridevi's lovely lovely daughter, you are already loved by people. God bless you, and soon all your dreams will come true.
she's so honest and has so much clarity
She is Sri Devi ji's daughter, no noise, she will certainly make it big one day. Remember Kareena and Amisha Patel, one was from a film background and the other an intellectual. But initially everyone found Kareena was disliked for her over acting etc, see how she has evolved now. It's just matter of time.
Thats an unfair comparison. And you almost make it sound like being intellectual is bad. Each actor has their own journey . Kareena certainly evolved, but amisha didnt fail because she was well educated. There are so many factors in a career as unpredictable,as that of a movie actor. While i agree that jhanvi seems talented and seems more honest , as compared to sara....i hope both succeed. Why pit one against another? In any case , i hope both women are content with their paths, whether in movies or elsewhere.
@@r.22r being intellectual is not bad.! But intellect of a person is not the only criteria and it has nothing to do with acting talent.! One can talk well in interviews with that intellect but can't act.! So understand the difference 🙂
She is so beautiful n honest with herself ❤️ love u Janhvi Kapoor
She is so Preety and looks to glamorous on simple dressing
So really like a princess, definitely like her mom. Brought up shows here.
Chill haters. She's cool and talented!
IDK abt talented. She does have a long way to go to prove her acting skills but she seems pretty humble tho.
@@krpticspawn7069 yess but i am sure she is good actor
She is very kind and honest girl with sweet heart
