Janhvi Kapoor recalls finding herself on 'almost pornographic pages' as a teenager

Janhvi Kapoor's experiences shed light on the complexities of growing up in a famous family and the challenges that come with early exposure to fame. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding when it comes to the experiences of individuals in the public eye, especially at a young age.

Hyderabad: Janhvi Kapoor, the daughter of the late Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor opened up about her early experiences with fame and the challenges she faced growing up in the public eye. Her journey in the spotlight began at a very young age, and it was not always a pleasant experience for her, the actor recalled.

In a recent interview, Janhvi recalled that the paparazzi started photographing her when she was just 10 years old, largely because of her famous parents. These early photos of her were often splashed across popular websites like Yahoo, which was a significant platform at the time. Looking back at those images, Janhvi felt uncomfortable and not groomed, which led to her feeling alienated from her peers.

Contrary to what some might assume, these early exposures to fame did not make her more popular among her classmates. In fact, Janhvi shared that her peers didn't understand the situation and, as a result, started to dislike her. This disconnect was distressing for her, as she struggled to comprehend why her friends were treating her differently.

As she entered her teenage years, Janhvi encountered an even more distressing situation. She discovered that her photographs had been manipulated and morphed to appear on inappropriate and almost pornographic websites. This experience was deeply unsettling for her, and she noted the increasing prevalence of fake images, particularly due to advancements in AI technology. She emphasized that people often mistake these manipulated images for real ones, which is a cause for concern.

On the work front, Janhvi, who was last seen in Nitesh Tiwari's Bawaal, has recently wrapped up shooting for Sudhanshu Saria's Ulajh. The actor also has Mr. And Mrs. Mahi helmed by Sharan Sharma ready to release. Apart from Hindi, Janhvi is gearing up to make a splash in Telugu cinema with Jr NTR starrer Devera which is a Koratala Siva directorial.
