In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, looking prim, proper, and picture-perfect is not an option but a constant expectation. Every outfit, every appearance, in fact, and every feature of an actor is diligently scrutinised, and the audience often has an opinion on all of it. Celebrities are not just admired; they are also criticised and trolled for how they choose to portray themselves. Falling prey to this, Jhanvi Kapoor has often found herself on the receiving end of such harsh judgments.

Recently, she made an appearance on the latest episode of Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle, with filmmaker Karan Johar. Jhanvi Kapoor spoke about the toxic obsession with beauty standards, perfection, and stigma around cosmetic surgery.

She said, “I don’t believe in gatekeeping. I was one of the young girls who was very impressionable with the onset of social media and seeing everyone being judged to look a certain way.”

On Viral “Buffalo Plasty” Accusations”

Janhvi shared how a self-proclaimed doctor once said that she got treatment done on herself. Reacting to that, she said, “I don’t want to perpetuate in young girls this idea of perfection. I’m a big believer in ‘you do ’ you do whatever makes you happy. I would be very happy to be a completely open book about things.”

She further added, “I think I have been very intelligent, conservative, and proper about what I have done. Of course, I had the guidance of my mom, and I’d like to share that. Also, as a cautionary tale, because if a young girl sees a video like this and decides mujhe bhi ye buffalo-plasty karna hai and something goes wrong, that would be the worst thing ever. I think transparency is important.”

Her Reaction to Trolls

Reflecting on how online critics often dissect her appearance, she said, “People [trolls] say so much… I think their intention is to take away from you, hurling accusations… Accha, isne toh plastic. Accha, isne to wo [cosmetic procedures] kia hai [They got the transplant or some other cosmetic procedure done on them]. If you are looking good or have put yourself out there,” she said, adding, “Saying someone is ‘plastic’, it does not take the power away from them.”

“I Look Banging” – Jhanvi Kapoor

Janhvi also emphasised how her value is beyond the vanity “I am not a better person because I have done something or because I haven’t done something,” Janhvi said. She continued confidently, “The value I bring is beyond just how I look, and I look banging.” Both Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, who host the show, agreed and applauded for her.

Twinkle Khanna & Kajol Face Backlash

While Janhvi’s remarks were widely appreciated, hosts Twinkle Khanna and Kajol drew criticism for another segment of the same episode. The duo faced social media backlash for “normalising infidelity” after a game segment discussion went viral. In the game, the question was if emotional cheating is worse than physical cheating. While Janhvi condemned both the situations, Twinkle and Kajol normalised it, saying she won’t understand as she matures. Karan Johar, on the other hand, said “physical cheating is not a deal breaker.” Many netizens felt the stars were making light of a serious issue, sparking heated discussions across platforms.
