Janhvi Kapoor’s initiative for alcohol addiction awareness issued a statement on Sunday (May 3) clarifying that her recent comments on alcohol have been misrepresented by a section of the media.

The clarification regarding the comment was given by the actor on Raj Shamani’s podcast, where Janhvi had said that she was drinking alcohol frequently after a very traumatic experience in life.

Sunday’s statement addressed the misinterpretation of his comments and emphasized the context in which he spoke. Janhvi has shared this on her Instagram story.

It reads, “At Off the Rocks and Amaha, we have noticed that some media pages are misrepresenting the content related to this initiative and Janhvi Kapoor. This is extremely worrying.”

The statement further read, “We want to be clear that Janhvi Kapoor is part of this conversation as a caregiver and ally, and not as someone who has any personal experience with addiction or alcohol dependence. Such misrepresentation not only diminishes her role, but also belittles and insults the real, lived experiences of people struggling with addiction and the people who support them. Let’s stop fixing a serious problem through misinformation for clickbait (sic).” Don’t take efforts for granted.”

It added that media outlets, digital platforms and individuals are being urged to report with honesty and ensure that conversations around addiction are handled with the sensitivity they deserve.

The statement also said that while misinformation in this area is harmful, irresponsible and disrespectful to the community, the purpose of this communication is to support people and thank them for standing with them.
