Digital Desk: Janhvi Kapoor's on-screen
persona has been quite different from her glamorous off-screen demeanour. While
she has played the small-town girl next door in many of her films, the real
Janhvi is much more glamorous. In a recent interview, the actor addressed this
disparity, stating that she used social media to "have fun" and pay
off her EMIs.

Janhvi has played more
relatable and middle-class characters in the majority of her films, including
her most recent release, Mili. Her Instagram, on the other hand, is chock-full
of glam shots and carefully curated photoshoots. The actor stated that she has
been told numerous times that her differences make it difficult for audiences
to accept her in non-glam roles.

"I have
been told things like these," Janhvi said in an interview with Galatta
Plus. "The kind of films that you are doing are of a certain beat, and
your social media presence is quite a contradiction." If they keep seeing
you in this outfit, it will make them less likely to buy you as those
characters.' I'm trying to keep myself from being so calculating. People may be
confused if they see me in a Manish Malhotra saree and then in a kurta in a
film. But that's my job, that's my art. I'm very passionate about it, and I
want to be as open and honest about it as possible. But I’m not that person in
real life. That’s the point of being an actor.”

Janhvi stated that the
purpose of her social media is for her to have fun and possibly get more brands
on board to help her 'pay EMIs with more ease.' "I don't want to take it
so seriously," she clarified. My social media accounts are for me to have
fun. Hopefully, if I look cute and five more people like my photos, I will get
another brand and be able to pay off my EMIs more easily than before."

Mili,
Janhvi's film, was released in theatres on November 4th. The survival thriller
is a remake of the Malayalam hit Helen, which was also directed by Mathukutty
Xavier. The film has had a disappointing time at the box office, earning less
than ₹2 crore nett in its
opening weekend.
