Janhvi Kapoor questions social media’s shock over her Ambedkar-Gandhi joke

-

Janhvi Kapoor wants to know why a part of social media was so astonished when she made a joke about Ambedkar and Gandhi a few months ago. Janhvi was speaking with Mashable in a new interview ahead of the premiere of her film Ulajh when she revealed that her PR staff wanted to cut that part of the discussion. She was concerned that the attention would be diverted from the picture she was promoting at the time, Mr & Mrs Mahi.

When the host reminded her of how the internet collectively gasped at her comment on Ambedkar and Gandhi, Janhvi responded, “Is it so hard to believe that a young female actress can have an opinion? I was so shocked. The irony, I remember, is that one of the reactions that, ‘Ye toh PR trained hein.’ Till a day before the interview came out… I had said in the conversation, and after that interview got over I looked at my PR team and I was like, ‘Kuch galat toh nahi bola maine?’ They said, ‘Woh shayad ek cheez pick up ho sakta he lekin hum dekhte he!’

She further said, “The next day I started panicking because the film was just about to release pata nahi kaun se angle se kaun kya bolne lagenge (I don’t know which angle will be picked up) I don’t know if that’s the right thing. Then my PR team started getting hyper and they also started making calls saying, ‘Hum wo hisse ko kaat sakte he please (can we cut that out)?’ They said no… That’s what was so ironic ki meri team toh wo hisse ko kaatne ki koshis kar rahi thi aur log samajh rahe hein ki mujhe training de kar bheja gaya he (My team was trying to edit it out and people thought I was trained to say that)!”

Janhvi stated that she became interested in the subject when filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan spoke with her about his past and the baggage he had to cope with. It all started with an interview for The Lallantop in May, when Janhvi was promoting Mr & Mrs Mahi and stated that she would like to see a discussion between Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar.

On the work front, Janhvi will be seen in Ulajh as Suhana Bhatia, a young diplomat caught up in a web of intrigue and conspiracy. The film is directed by Sudhanshu Saria and stars Adil Hussain, Meiyang Chang, Gulshan Devaiah, Rajendra Gupta, and Jitendra Joshi. Ulajh hits cinemas on August 2.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Box Office: Salman Khan’s film enters Rs. 100 Crore Club, aims to cross Jai Ho next

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga
