Summary
- Janhvi Kapoor battled depression after her debut film Dhadak.
- The film, Dhadak, was a remake of the Marathi film Sairat.
- Kapoor felt immense pressure and focused on negative feedback post-release.
Janhvi Kapoor, who debuted in 2018 with the film 'Dhadak', has shared that she experienced depression in the aftermath of its release. The film, a remake of the Marathi hit 'Sairat', also starred Ishaan Khatter and achieved considerable box office success, earning approximately Rs 110.11 crore.
Speaking on a podcast, Kapoor disclosed that she struggled emotionally, believing "people hate me" and that she had "sucked." Her perception was heavily influenced by her mother's passing earlier in 2018, leading her to seek validation from the audience.
Kapoor confessed to concentrating solely on negative feedback, failing to acknowledge the film's commercial triumph. This focus on negativity, she explained, distorted her reality and made her feel disliked, overshadowing the fact that 'Dhadak' was a significant commercial success for newcomers.
