Janhvi Kapoor opens up about her reaction to trolling

During her appearance on chat show on Dharma Productions Youtube channel, Janhvi talked about dealing with negative attention. The actress said trolls and negative comments never seemed like a ‘real problem’. She said, “It's honestly been my life for as long as I can remember it. In my head, it is always like other people have it much worse. And it seems kind of phoney for me to sit here and be like, ‘I got trolled. It's hard.' It does not seem like a real-enough problem because it is not a relatable-enough problem for the common man and it is a privileged problem.”

“It is like a bitter pill I have swallowed. It does not hurt me as much. I think it hurts me more when the things are said about the people I care about.,” Janhvi added.
