Koffee With Karan 9: Janhvi Kapoor On Peddi Controversy
As Janhvi Kapoor appeared on KWK 9 with Varun Dhawan, she opened up about the Peddi controversy and how the makers ‘sexualised’ her through certain scenes in Ram Charan’s film. She said, “It weighs heavily on my conscience the sort of negative impact a narrative like that can have our society. Specific to my gender. That shame I will always carry with me. Could I have done more? Could I have been more vigilant? 100% yes. Was it problematic, was it extreme objectification? Did it even propagate sexual assault narratively? Yes. But the only thing I can do is ensure that it doesn’t happen again. I should have made a bigger issue.”

It can’t be blamed on a lack of information, because there is so much information out there. I just want to focus on this lovely part of my life and where I’m headed”

She said, “Bounce back? From where? I have taken a step ahead to something that was a deep desire in my heart, so why would I want to go back?” Recalling the first few days after welcoming her son, Vihaan, Katrina described the experience as deeply emotional. “The first few days after I gave birth, it was an indescribable feeling to see Vihaan’s face and know that four years of a tumultuous journey for me and Vicky had led to this.” She added that she understands her fitness goals and will work towards them at her own pace, saying, “I am very aware of my fitness journey and where my body feels at its most energetic. I will reach there at my own pace.”
