Janhvi Kapoor Is Rooting For Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh, Says She DOESN’T Mind Playing Such Character

Janhvi Kapoor, who was first seen in Dhadak, has an interesting lineup of upcoming films. From a horror-comedy film like RoohiAfza to a period drama like Takht, Janhvi has her hands on all kinds of genre films. But would she do a film Like Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh! Janhvi reveals that she doesn’t mind it.

Yes, Janhvi would love to do a role like Kabir Singh and the actress spilled the beans about the same on Neha Dhupia’s show No Filter Neha. Just like any other star, Janhvi was also asked about her opinion on the much controversial film. Janhvi was elated to say that she loved the film and would love to a film like Kabir Singh.

She said, “I loved Kabir Singh. I understand people’s concern. I think cinema in our country plays such a big part in creating an impression on the minds of the general public, so I understand why people feel that it might encourage men to act a certain way. But it’s art! It’s not supposed to cater to societal norms, and what is right and what is wrong. It’s one man’s reality, it’s one man’s opinion of someone’s reality.”

“It’s a grey character, that’s the point of it. If you only make sanitised, society-approved empty shells of characters, then what’s the point? He’s supposed to be f**ked up. Isn’t cinema art and isn’t art supposed to be a reflection of yourself. That’s maybe someone’s reality and that’s what they are trying to present on celluloid. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Frida Kahlo painted really disturbing images but it was called feminism because it’s her reality. You can’t filter it, then it’s not art. Then where’s the heart in it?” she said.
