Janhvi Kapoor has become a prominent voice in the ongoing conversation about the ethics of paparazzi culture, particularly regarding how female actors are often portrayed in the media.
In a recent episode of The Male Feminist for Hauterrfly, she discussed her experiences with paparazzi, specifically addressing the issue of being photographed from behind.This practice, which often leads to misleading headlines such as “Guess who this actor is?” has been a source of discomfort for many in the industry, and Janhvi is no exception.
During the promotion of her previous film ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi,’ Kapoor took a stand against this invasive behavior. She recounted how she directly asked the paparazzi to refrain from capturing her images from behind, stating, “Please galat angle se mat lena” (Please don’t take pictures from the wrong angle). Since that moment, she has noticed a change: “They have been like, ‘Nahi, nahi hum peeche se nahi lenge! Are mudo mudo’ (No, we will not click from behind. Turn around)!”
This shift in behavior from the paparazzi is something she appreciates, as it reflects a growing awareness of the discomfort such practices can cause. Janhvi emphasized the impact of her words, noting, “They are forced to listen to me because this is my decision and my choice.
She acknowledged that a few years ago, she might not have felt empowered enough to voice her concerns, saying, “Aur maine bola bhi kaise (And how did I say that)… this is also a trope that I feel a lot of women use, that I have used a lot. That I don’t want to be putting off in my opinion. I want to bahur pyaar se, buddhu ban ke bas bolna chahti hoon (I want to state my point with love and casually) because that is more palatable.”
Few days ago, Janhvi dazzled in a series of gorgeous outfits at the Ambani wedding, including a golden lehenga with a real gold jewelry blouse, a Tarun Tahiliani couture ensemble, and a vibrant Anamika Khanna lehenga. She also wore a peacock-themed lehenga, a Manish Malhotra half-saree, and shimmering sequin dresses. Janhvi made her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya official by posing with him at the wedding events.
