Janhvi Kapoor shares her views on nepotism

In a recent interaction, Janhvi Kapoor stated that it hurts when an anonymous person on internet says, 'acting nahi aati toh kyun karti ho, nepotism ki bacchi?' She mentioned that it hurts because nobody sees the hard work that has been put behind the work. She says she is open to healthy criticism but it only takes a second to reduce you to something insignificant. She said, "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."
