EXCLUSIVE: Ulajh actress Janhvi Kapoor wants to make audience ‘laugh’ with her roles; says ‘Bahot rona-dhona ho gaya’

As a die-hard fan of Janhvi Kapoor, I am absolutely fascinated by her journey in Bollywood so far. The way she has chosen diverse roles and proven her versatility is truly commendable! From playing a drug dealer in “Good Luck Jerry” to a pilot in “Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl,” and even a part-time restaurant worker who gets locked up in a freezer in “Mili,” Janhvi has left us all in awe.


Janhvi Kapoor, who made her Bollywood entrance with Shashank Khaitan’s Dhadak in 2018, is now preparing for the upcoming spy thriller Ulajh. Carefully selecting her roles, Janhvi’s filmography of six years reflects her thoughtful choices.

Over the past few projects, I’ve had the privilege of showcasing my range as an actress. From portraying a drug dealer in “Good Luck Jerry,” to flying high as a pilot in “Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl,” and even playing a part-time restaurant worker who ends up trapped in a freezer in “Mili,” I’ve embraced each unique role with dedication and passion. And most recently, I stepped into the shoes of a cricketer in “Mr and Mrs Mahi.” Each experience has been an enriching journey that allows me to explore different aspects of myself as an artist.

As a die-hard fan of Janhvi Kapoor, I’m thrilled to share that she recently opened up about the type of roles she’s been drawn to in her acting journey so far. She referred to them as “acting-heavy” films, suggesting that she’s deeply committed to bringing depth and nuance to her on-screen performances. Looking ahead, this dedicated artist is eager to continue exploring complex characters and pushing her boundaries in the captivating world of Bollywood cinema.

Janhvi Kapoor says she wanted to prove herself in her initial career

In a recent episode of TopMob Masterclass, Janhvi Kapoor revealed that the actress in “Ulajh” didn’t know why she opted for a challenging career start. At that time, Janhvi believed the roles she wanted weren’t available.

Janhvi expressed her desire to win over the audience’s approval through her acting. She felt that the compelling stories she aimed to share with viewers emerged naturally.

The Ulajh actress shares the idea of her future roles

Janhvi Kapoor discussed her plans for choosing future film characters. Looking back at her previous roles in films such as Good Luck Jerry, Bawaal, Mili, and Mr and Mrs Maahi, Janhvi mentioned that she has already portrayed complex characters. The actress then expressed her intention to concentrate on commercial projects moving forward.

She admitted feeling as if she had wept profusely, gotten trapped in the refrigerator, dislocated both her shoulders while playing cricket. Now, she intended to revel in the moment, to dance, sing, and amuse the crowd.

Janhvi talks about her character graph in Ulajh

In simpler terms, Janhvi Kapoor, acting as IFS officer Suhana Bhatia in Ulajh, shared insights about her character. She explained that Suhana is not just stern in the film, but also enjoys herself at times.

I, as a devoted fan, can confirm that Janhvi openly expressed her fondness for Ulajh due to this particular trait. For me, it’s thrilling to see her take on a new role – one where she wields power rather than being powerless.

The actress from Ulajh spoke about how women’s roles on the big screen are typically portrayed as either helpless or ambitious, like her late mother Sridevi was in Laadla. She described her own character as a balanced representation.
