Janhvi Kapoor on dealing with social media trolling
Addressing the issue of social media trolling and how it doesn't affect her much, Janhvi Kapoor said at Pinkvilla Masterclass, "I think days like these help when so many people show up, and they are so nice and lovely, and they give so much love and support. I think that makes me really feel good about myself. Also, when you are on a film set with so many artists, directors that have achieved so much in life and know so much about the craft, when they recognize and value your skillset and what you bring on a film set, that's also a huge validation. If Nitesh Sir (Nitesh Tiwari) looks at my take and doosre take me (in the second take), he says, 'badhia tha, dil chhu liya (It was good and touched my heart)' to phir main ye faceless user 101 on YouTube ki baat kyun sunu? (Then why should I focus on faceless trolls?)"
The actress also talked about how she is open to constructive criticism, which has helped her overcome her limitations. "Obviously, it's important to recognize what the audience feels about your work. If it's constructive criticism, you work on it. I think one constructive criticism I got was that meri Hindi itni achi nahi thi, jis par maine bahut kaam karne ki koshish ki (My hold on the Hindi language wasn't strong and I've worked hard on it). Even my voice, I think one thing that I've tried in Ulajh, I don't know logon ko ye notice bhi hoga (if people will notice it), if it makes any difference, lekin maine ek alag voice try karne ki koshish ki hai (I've tried voice modulation). But I don't know if it's a thing," she said.
