Once Janhvi had dressed as a boy to help her friend make a boy feel jealous. Talking about it she agreed to having done that and said, “We continue to do these weird things even today. We always have very elaborate narratives , it is almost like an Abbas-Mustan thriller...the ideas we come up with to mess with people, sometimes."

While it was done by Janhvi to help a friend out, today she looks back at it as her first acting assignment. “I wore an oversized hoodie, and to bulk up, I stuffed it with pillows to make it seem like I have biceps, and all. We took a photograph from the back to send him. Come to think of it, that was my first acting job...and I think it worked, because that guy did get jealous after seeing the photograph,” she further said.

Janhvi Kapoor who was last seen in the film Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl is gearing up for the theatrical release of Roohi. This is Janhvi’s first time in a horror comedy which also stars Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma. Directed by Hardik Mehta, the film hits the theatres on March 11, 2021.
