Janhvi Kapoor reacts to a viral video

Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor has recently reacted to a viral video of a man allegedly assaulting a female. She slammed the man in the video and asked officials to take strict action against him.

Janhvi shared the video on her Instagram Story and penned, “This man needs to be in jail. Why does anyone think this behaviour is ok? What makes him think he can raise his hand at someone like this? What kind of upbringing convinces you to go through with these actions without any remorse, guilt or sense of humanity?"

She continued, “How do you live with yourself after knowing this is how your brain operates? What a shame. And shame on us for not punishing and condoning such behaviour more aggressively. Nothing excuses this.”

In the video, the man, identified as Gokul Jha, is seen assaulting a 25-year-old female receptionist at a private hospital in Kalyan, Maharashtra, after she refused to let him walk into the doctor's office without an appointment. People present at the hospital tried to pull her away, but the man continued to drag the woman by her hair, thrashing her onto the ground.

The receptionist reportedly sustained serious injuries and is receiving treatment at a Dombivli hospital. The police have detailed the man’s brother and his family members present at the moment. Meanwhile, the Kalyan District and Sessions Court sent Jha to two days of police custody on Wednesday.

On the work front, Janhvi has a series of exciting projects in her pipeline. She will next star in the upcoming film Homebound, which also stars Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa. After receiving a 9-minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival, the makers will screen the upcoming film at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025.
