'We are very quickly judged by our appearance': Janhvi Kapoor talks about casual sexism in Bollywood

Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut 2 years back with Dhadak. Boney Kapoor and Sridevi's daughter, during a recent interview, opened about facing sexual racism in Bollywood.

BollywoodLife quoted Janhvi saying, "A lot of times in meetings and in narrations, once we have a male co-actor present, the director or the author while narrating the scene make more eye-contact with the guy than with you. And in my head, I'm like yeah maybe it’s because he features a longer role or even the scene is like that. on the other hand, I noticed that perhaps it’s just a few kinds of subliminal conditioning that are making them do this. Also, the way we are perceived. there's tons of attention that are paid to how we glance and the way we're presented. We are very quickly judged by our appearance, what we are wearing. Even on social media sometimes once I undergo the comments, the type of comments a woman gets for wearing what she wants to wear is extreme. and therefore the quite comments I buy for getting to the gym during a certain outfit... You can’t question someone’s character supported what they're wearing, you can’t call names, pass judgments. But all that's happening."

She further added, "People feel that it'd be okay to mention a couple of things which may be demeaning, everyone has an opinion on how you look. I don’t know if this is able to matter such a lot for a man who is a component of the industry, but as a lady, if you're not meeting a particular standard then everyone has the proper to mention something."

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor is going to be next seen in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.
