Janhvi Kapoor’s Team Issues Clarification After Misinterpretation

The confusion stemmed from Janhvi speaking about a difficult phase in her life when she occasionally turned to alcohol. However, Off The Rocks clarified that her words were taken out of context. The statement, which Janhvi also reshared on her Instagram story, read, “We at Off The Rocks & Amaha have noticed certain media pages misrepresenting content associated with this initiative and Janhvi Kapoor. This is deeply concerning.”

It further stated, “We want to be clear. Janhvi Kapoor is part of this conversation as a caregiver and ally. Not as someone who has had any personal experience of addiction or alcohol dependence. Such misrepresentation not only diminishes her role but also undermines. And, disrespects the real, lived experiences of those battling addiction and those supporting them. Let’s not trivialize efforts to lend a healing hand to a critical problem by spreading misleading information for the sake of clickbait.”

The note concluded with a strong appeal: “We strongly call upon media outlets, digital platforms, and individuals to report with integrity. And, ensure conversations around addiction are handled with the sensitivity they deserve. Misinformation in this space is harmful, irresponsible, and disrespectful to the very community this dialogue aims to support. Thank you for standing with us.”

Where Did It Circulate From?

Speaking earlier on the Raj Shamani podcast, Janhvi had shared, “I would not say I was addicted or that I was abusing alcohol. But I was drinking frequently. This was after a very traumatic experience in my life. I felt the need to just say, ‘I need to get drunk.’”

She also reflected on how she became more aware of its impact, saying, “I didn’t like how I was feeling when I was waking up. That feeling of a hangover gives me such an ick. It started… it was so weird. I could smell on myself a scent very familiar to someone in my life who struggled with addiction. And, I would associate that smell with, ‘Okay, it’s not a good day.’”

Janhvi’s Work Front

Janhvi Kapoor is set to share screen space with Ram Charan in Peddi, which is now expected to hit theatres around June 6, 2026, after several schedule revisions. She was last seen in Shashank Khaitan’s directorial, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, alongside Varun Dhawan, released in late 2025.
