On the other hand, in a recent interview, Janhvi Kapoor also recalled seeing morphed images of her when she was very young. She remained tight-lipped, as she feared people would think she was hogging attention.

Janhvi Kapoor, who has been very clear about her viewpoints and opinions, recently revealed falling prey to deepfake images when she was a teenager. 

In a recent interview with Film Companion, the actress lauded Rashmika Mandanna for speaking up for the wronged and stated that given the context of the place she comes from, she has been a ‘little conscious’ of ‘anything and everything’ she says. 

She opines that she has been diffident about her background, as she always believed that there are bigger and tougher things that people have to put up with. 

Janhvi went on to admit that in all her life whatever she had to deal with, she would always sweep them under the carpet thinking, ‘It doesn’t really matter. 

Look at what people actually go through’ following which she invalidated a lot of her feelings which resulted in her not being vocal enough to express what she wants and what she doesn’t as she didn’t want to seem demanding.

During the conversation, she went on to admit that she wasn’t even aware that she could actually speak against the morphed images. She stated, “I didn’t even know that I had the right to speak about deepfakes or altered images. I didn’t know I could say anything. I applaud Rashmika for standing up.”

Janhvi further recalled seeing morphed images of herself when she was just 15, and thinking that this is a part of the deal of being a public figure. “I thought I can’t complain, because it’ll seem like I want attention,” she said.
