Janhvi said that it broke her physically and mentally. However, she also feels that if she doesn’t feel absolutely exhausted and drained by a filming schedule, then perhaps she hasn’t given it everything.
The actor told Film Companion, “I think I’m a very hardworking and sincere actor. If nothing else, I try to be as honest an actor as possible. Sometimes I feel like if I’m not feeling completely exhausted, drained and broken after a schedule then maybe I haven’t given it my everything. And I think that’s something I’m learning from the film I’m doing right now. We had one schedule which, I think, broke me physically and mentally. And the schedule that I am on right now feels like a holiday.”
Elaborating further, she said, “I am shooting for the remake of this Malayalam film called Helen. And I love working with Mathu sir (Helen director Mathukutty Xavier). He just makes life so easy, which is why I’m like, ‘I’m not suffering enough’. I feel like I need to inflict some amount of anxiety on myself to feel like I’ve delivered which isn’t always necessary I think.”
Janhvi Kapoor was last seen in Roohi. She also has Good Luck Jerry and Dostana 2 in her kitty.
