Janhvi Kapoor on reports that she is paying people to praise her, says: ‘itna budget nahi hai ki main logon se tareef karwaun’

Janhvi Kapoor, who made her acting debut in 2018 with Dhadak, is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Ulajh. In a recent interview, when the actor was told that people have been saying positive things about her, she joked that she was paying them to say it.

When asked about her evolution as an actor, Janhvi admitted she couldn’t comment on her performances and believes it’s for the audience to judge.

She humorously said, "Main khud ke baare me kaise baith kar bolu, ‘Main na badi confident ho gayi hu, bade acche acche performances de rahi hu’? (But how can I sit and say about myself, 'I have become very confident; I am giving very good performances?')

"Main khud nahi keh sakti na (I can't say it myself).” When told that people are saying good things about her, she added  “Koi bhi main jab dekhti hu na social media par galti se koi bhi tareef kar leta hai na toh yeh bolte rehte hain ki ‘Yeh toh iska PR hoga, yeh toh iska...' Main bolti hu ‘Nahi itna budget nahi hai ki main logon se tareef karwaun. Paise khilwa ke bulwa rahi hu ( I am seeing this that if someone praises me on social media, people say that I am paying them to say it. But I want to say I don’t have that much budget to pay someone to praise me.)”.

Janhvi, who was last seen in Mr & Mrs Mahi alongside Rajkummar Rao, stars in Ulajh with Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, and Adil Hussain.

The film follows the story of Suhana Bhatia as she navigates her personal and professional life and is set to release in theaters on August 2, 2024. Janhvi is also set to appear in the Telugu film Devara Part 1 with Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
