Janhvi Kapoor on seeking validation from the wrong places after her mom's demise
While speaking at Ranveer Allahabadia's podcast, Janhvi Kapoor said that she struggled with self-worth initially as she didn't know how to assess her value. She said she was seeking 'a lot of validation' from places she shouldn't have.
The actress also talked about having body image issues, insecurity regarding her hold over the Hindi language, and having a feeling of lacking most human experiences due to being sheltered.
Talking about being a person who doesn't like to stagnate in any way and chases all kinds of growth, including personal, intellectual, and artistic, she recalled when she was in 'a very different emotional space'. Janhvi said that she was drowning in insecurity.
Opening up more, she added that it’s been conditioned into her from a 'very young age.' She explained her point, "I mean when people have such a heavy perception of you and your privilege, and you are kind of made to feel apologetic about the space that you take up in the industry. In school, every time you make friends or do well, you get any sort of opportunity; it is always pinned to where you come from. Then you kind of don’t know what value to give yourself individually.”
