Coffee With Karan 8: Janhvi Kapoor Discusses Working on Devara With Jr. NTR
New Delhi: The most recent guest on Koffee With Karan was Janhvi Kapoor, one of the most well-liked rising actresses in Bollywood today. Her sister Khushi Kapoor, who just made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, joined her on the program. Karan Johar was the ideal host as the sisters spoke about their personal and professional achievements at the event.
During the discussion, Janhvi Kapoor was questioned about her much anticipated Telugu film debut. For those who don’t know, Janhvi will appear in Devara with Jr. NTR. When Janhvi arrived on the Devara film sets, she realized that she would be sharing screen time with superstar Jr. NTR in her first Telugu movie. I had the impression that all I had done so far had been preparatory work or self-discovery.
Janhvi Kapoor discussed how working on the Devara film set had changed her life, saying, “I don’t think I realized how lost I was, how much like a headless chicken I was, for the first couple of years.” All I knew, both inside and emotionally, was that I adore my job. It also serves to keep me alive and sane in many ways. I was retreating into my job in many ways. Thus, I think that upon entering this set, I realized that this was who I was meant to be. And I am this, too. And I’ve been ready for this time for all of that knowledge and experience. I really cherish all those movies and moments. However, I believe that this is my calling, and I feel better about who I am and what I will hopefully be doing moving forward.
Janhvi Kapoor had previously posted a picture of the BTS from the Devara sets along with the caption, “Missing set and the team and being Thangam.”
The sisters spoke candidly about their mother’s passing in the meanwhile. In 2018, Sridevi passed away while in Dubai for a family wedding. “The thing that I remember is that I was in my room when I got the call,” said Janhvi Kapoor. And I could hear Khushi’s chamber weeping. And I believe that I stormed into her room, weeping and yelling. However, I do recall that she gave me a glance, Karan. She just stopped weeping the moment she turned to face me. She just came to an end. She just sat next to me and began consoling me; I haven’t seen her weep about it since.
Speaking for the first time, Khushi Kapoor continued, saying, “I think it took me a while to kind of accept it when it happened.” After a time, I believe it did finally strike me. But I guess I was a little perplexed. However, I had my father and Jahnvi. They were only kind of there to assist, then.I believe that since I’ve always been the strong one, I felt compelled to keep everything together for everyone.
