Janhvi Kapoor reveals she was made an easy target of trolls as she was launched by Karan Johar

Actor Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut with 'Dhadak' which was produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions and also starred in 'Gunjan Saxena' which was produced by him. In a recent interview with Bollywood Life, the actor addressed the criticism she has received for being a star kid and for being privileged to be launched by such a big production house.

Janhvi said that being launched by Karan and Dharma Productions has made her an easy target for hate, but she considers herself lucky to have been launched by the filmmaker.

‘I think it comes with the fact that Dharma is such an iconic production house. I have realised whatever people say, the kind of curiosity and reach that Dharma has and the kind of interest it piques in audiences, may be unparalleled. Yeah, it has added a certain amount of pressure and also made me a target that is easy to hate.’

‘But I will never, for a moment, regret it because what Dharma and Karan have given me makes me feel so unbelievably lucky and privileged. It’s more than that. If you know Karan and what that production house stands for, more than anything it’s creative decisions and a man’s creative vision that he sticks by. And I have so much respect. More than anything, it’s given me confidence and love and guidance from a maker like Karan,' she further added.

Dharma Productions was set up by the late filmmaker Yash Johar and it is currently being run by his son and producer Karan Johar.

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will next be seen in ‘Bawaal’ and ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’. She was last seen in ‘Mili’.
