Janhvi Kapoor wants female versions of Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Kabir Singh’ and Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘Joker’

Janhvi Kapoor had made quite an entry in Bollywood with her debut film ‘Dhadak’ in which she co-starred alongside Ishaan Khatter. The film was produced under Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions banner. Janhvi is now looking forward to playing some unconventional roles. Janhvi feels that there should be more roles that portray the uninhibited side of women, like the female version of ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Joker’.

Janhvi Kapoor was at Jio MAMI Movie Mela with Star, 2019. During a session at the event, Janhvi opened up about her views on the types of roles there should be for actresses. “Times are changing, but I still think we need to have a little less sanitised role for women. The best such role I can think of, in the Indian context, is the one played by Nutan in Bandini,” said the ‘Dhadak’ actress.

She further added, “There should be more roles that portray the uninhibited side of the female – roles such as the female versions of ‘Kabir Singh’ or the ‘Joker’.”

Janhvi was also asked what she loves the most about acting, she said it makes her happy just to be in front of a camera. She loves the travel and the experiences that come with the job.

The newbie also opened up the advice that her late mother Sridevi gave her. “You just need to be alive, present, and receptive in the moment. The best acting often happens by mistake or in a spontaneous, unguarded moment,” shared Janhvi.

Janhvi personally believes that an actor bears the responsibility of delivering on the efforts of every single person on the set — right from the director to the spot boy. “We owe it to them to give every scene our best,” she said.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi will be seen next in ‘Roohi Afza’ and Gunjan Saxena’s biopic, ‘The Kargil Girl’. She also has ‘Dostana 2’ and ‘Takht’ in her kitty.
