Janhvi Kapoor in Dhadak

As 'Dhadak' completes 6 years today, marking 6 years of Janhvi Kapoor’s career in films, it’s safe to say that hers was the most sensational debut of 2018.

The year was notable for a wave of new talent entering Bollywood, yet Janhvi Kapoor's entry stood out, making a lasting impression. Bearing the legacy of her mother, the iconic Sridevi, and her father, acclaimed producer Boney Kapoor, Janhvi chose a path less travelled by debutantes, embracing a desi romantic drama ‘Dhadak’.

While many newcomers opt for glamorous roles to make a striking first impression, Janhvi Kapoor took a different route with 'Dhadak,' a film that delved into a sensitive and socially relevant subject. Backed by the star-maker Karan Johar, 'Dhadak' was a commercial success, crossing the 100-crore mark worldwide at the box office. In her debut performance, Janhvi displayed immense potential, capturing hearts with her portrayal of a young girl navigating love and societal challenges.

Despite being just one film old, Janhvi's talent and versatility were evident, leading to a slew of diverse projects. She played a courageous pilot in 'Gunjan Saxena,' a woman possessed in 'Roohi,' a clever simpleton in 'Good Luck Jerry,' a determined survivor in 'Mili,' and a cricketer in the upcoming 'Mr & Mrs Mahi.' Notably, Janhvi has been headlining films with strong, author-backed roles early in her career, rather than just playing a heroine opposite a hero. This goes to highlight the faith filmmakers have in her abilities and her popularity among audiences.

As we celebrate the 6th anniversary of 'Dhadak,' it's clear that Janhvi Kapoor's journey in Bollywood has been marked by bold choices and significant achievements. Her debut was just the beginning of a promising career that continues to evolve, captivating audiences and earning her praise with each new role.

With ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’, the upcoming ‘Ulajh’ and her Pan-India debut ‘Devara’ opposite Junior NTR, the year 2024 is shining bright for the versatile and talented Janhvi Kapoor.
