Janhvi Kapoor says she was ‘conservative’ about cosmetic procedures, got them ‘under Sridevi’s guidance’

Janhvi continued, stressing the care she has taken, “And I was like, okay, listen, I think I’ve been very intelligent, conservative, and proper about what I’ve done. Of course, I’ve had the guidance of my mom and everything. And I’d like to share that also as a sort of cautionary tale because if some young girl sees a video like this and believes it, tries something like that and something goes wrong, that would be the worst thing.” Sridevi passed away in 2018, months before Janhvi’s debut in the movies. Janhvi was 20 at the time.

Joining the conversation, actor Kajol, who has herself endured years of similar speculation, expressed empathy, especially considering her daughter Nysa, who has not yet debuted in films but is already subjected to such scrutiny. Kajol commented: “And then you have these weird people turning around and saying, ‘Oh, you’ve done all this surgeries.’ They’ve even got a whole site, by the way, on Nysa and me, saying we’ve done about 25 things! And I’m like, what are these things?”

Kajol has spoken previously on the topic. In an interview with Zoom Entertainment, when asked what advice she would give to young actresses entering the industry, she said, “God has made you in a particular way, and for what God has not made the way you wanted, there’s always make-up! And it should be a personal choice, you shouldn’t do it because 25 people have told you to do it.”

Janhvi Kapoor was last seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Homebound, and is currently preparing for Peddi alongside Ram Charan. Kajol most recently appeared in season two of her show The Trial.
