Janhvi Kapoor expresses her hurt over being called 'nepo baby'

In a recent interview, Jahnvi Kapoor opened up about how she feels when people call her a product of nepotism.

She said how hurtful it is when she works so hard, and in return, some anonymous person bashes and dismisses acting skills, calling her a nepo-baby.

She said, "You know, it really hurts when you’re putting in the hard work, the sweat and blood, or undergoing the mental turmoil, and some random, anonymous person on the Internet goes like, ‘Acting nahi aati toh kyun karti ho, nepotism ki bacchi?’ (If you can’t act, why do you even try, nepo-baby?) It takes all of a second to reduce you to something insignificant."

She said that she respects it when someone appreciates her work in Mili, and then says that there was scope for improvement in another film.

"On the other hand, if somebody says, ‘You were good in Mili, but you could improve your performance in another film,’ then I respect that. You get to a point where you just have to acknowledge that some people are plain sad—for the lack of a better word—and are on a quest to snatch away your happiness." She concluded.

She will be seen in Bawaal alongside Varun Dhawan next, she also has Mr And Mrs Mahi with Rajkummar Rao in the pipeline.
