Janhvi Kapoor says she was 'sexualized' by the media
Janhvi said in a video posted on the official YouTube channel of dharma Productions, “The first time I felt sexualized by the media, I think I was 12-13 years old. I went to an event with mom and dad andthere were pictures of me online. Instagram and social media had just started to boom and I found pictures of me in what seemed like a pornographic site and boys in my school were like looking at it and laughing.”
She added, “It is a very weird thing to navigate and I have been navigating it for a very long time. I think I am very apologetic about where I come from and I need to get over that. I am sure other people deal with it in a much more different sense. I still think the way I am explaining it and my experiences of it are very privileged. But it was complicated… There is a sort of character assassination that a girl data-faces when she dresses in a way that makes it seem like she is comfortable with her sexuality.”
