In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Janhvi Kapoor revealed her desire to become a great actress. The Dhadak actress told us, “I think it’s just because I want to grow. I want to be a good actress. I want to be at the top of my field. I want to impress the audience with my acting and films, make them laugh, cry.”
She further shared how her mother Sridevi inspired her to connect with the audience. She said, “From a very young age, I saw the impact of my mother’s work on people.” She further said that she once asked her mother why everyone was crazy about her even though she was not a doctor, soldier, politician or any such job that people could connect with her emotionally.
To this, the actress later replied, “Yes, I am making them feel like I understand them, maybe escaping their lives and showing them what bigger-than-life emotions are like. I am making them laugh, entertaining them, making them dance.” It was then that Janhvi realised that there is a connection that is irreplaceable and hence, she too wants to connect with people like her mother. “That is the aspiration,” the Ulj actress added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi is all set to make her Telugu debut with Devraa: Part 1 opposite NT Rama Rao Jr and Saif Ali Khan, followed by Sunny opposite Tulsi Kumari of Sanskari. On the work front, Khushi will be seen in her upcoming film Nadaniyaan.
