Janhvi Kapoor's debut movie Dhadak completes 6 years, a look back at her smashing performance

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.
