Janhvi Kapoor dissatisfied with Dhadak acting: ‘I lacked confidence, had language issues, was stiff’

Actor Janhvi Kapoor has voiced dissatisfaction with her performance in Dhadak, saying that she lacked confidence, her language was an issue and that she was stiff in places.

Actor Janhvi Kapoor in a display of modesty has called her debut performance in the film Dhadak “stiff.” She said in a new interview that she lacked the technical know-how of acting, and relied entirely on heart.

She told BBC Asian Network, “I think I lacked confidence and my language was an issue. I think I was a little stiff in places. I think that one thing I had working for me is that I tried to bring a lot of honesty and sensitivity to it. I think the emotionality of it was in the right place.”

She continued, “Maybe it was all heart but it lacked a lot of technical understanding and a lot of finesse. I lacked technical understanding and maybe my skill set wasn’t as polished. It’s weird saying this about myself but I think I felt honest onscreen.”

After Dhadak, she appeared in Zoya Akhtar’s short film in Ghost Stories, and has a wide slate of movies lined up. She will appear in the horror-comedy RoohiAfzana, the Gunjan Saxena biopic, Dostana 2, and Takht.
