Janhvi Kapoor was honoured with the Actor of the Year (Female) award at a prestigious ceremony held in Delhi, marking another defining moment in her evolving film journey. The recognition comes for her performance in Homebound, a film that has received widespread critical acclaim and international attention, including an Oscar nomination, further strengthening the actor’s growing presence on the global cinema stage.
Taking to Instagram to express her gratitude after the win, Janhvi shared a heartfelt note reflecting on the journey of the film and the recognition it has received. “My biggest takeaway from the journey of this very special film is that to really see people without your own baggage of judgement, and to feel truly seen in return, is perhaps the greatest gift we are capable of giving and receiving as human beings,” she wrote, while thanking NDTV for making her feel seen in her endeavour to become a better artist.
Homebound has been widely praised for its sensitive storytelling and emotionally layered performances, with Janhvi’s portrayal standing out for its depth, restraint and authenticity. The actor’s performance resonated strongly with audiences and critics alike, with many citing her role as the emotional core of the film. The Oscar recognition has further elevated the film’s stature, making the award win particularly special.
