Janhvi Kapoor says that she and her father are not rich enough to pay the producers to cast her
The discussion on nepotism in Bollywood kicked off years ago and still is talked about at various points. From star kids being called privileged to them being accused of paying producers, there have many claims made about them. Amongst them is Janhvi Kapoor who has received flak in the past for the high-profile films she has been signed for. The actress, who will next be seen in the survival drama Mili, spoke about how her being the daughter of the late Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, may have landed her a big debut but the fact that she is still working in films is because of some talent.

In a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan, Janhvi Kapoor opened up about how her initial films may have been a result of her filmy background but the films she has been receiving currently are all because the filmmakers show some faith in her talent. She said, “I’ve analyzed this on the basis of the kind of opportunities that I’m getting. My first film, yes, perhaps there was a curiosity about me being Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter. And maybe that curiosity extended to my second film. But what about the ones after that? They’ve seen me now. What curiosity could there possibly be anymore?”
She went on to add, “Now if I am getting any work, it must be on the merit of what they think I can offer. It’s not like I am paying people to take me in their films. I’m not that rich nor is my dad. They must’ve appreciated something about me. Nobody is so large-hearted that they’d launch a star kid and take a monetary loss.”
On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor, who was last seen in the Disney+ Hotstar thriller Good Luck Jerry, will next be seen in the survival thriller Mili, which is a remake of the Malayalam film Helen. The actress will also be featuring alongside Rajkummar Rao in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi as well as Bawaal with Varun Dhawan.

Jacqueline Fernandez to appear before Delhi Court today for her bail plea in relation to the Sukesh Chandrashekhar case
Although she is gearing up for her film Ram Setu alongside Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez will be taking off to Delhi today owing to her involvement in the Sukesh Chandrashekhar case. While the actress has been summoned several times after the conman was arrested in this case, she was last granted interim bail. As a part of the further procedure, the actress will be appearing before the Delhi Court for the hearing of her bail plea.

After being named accused in a chargesheet, Jacqueline Fernandez was summoned by the Delhi authorities for an interrogation that allegedly went on for over eight hours. The Enforcement Directorate, while investigating the case, had named Jacqueline as one of the accused as it was alleged that the actress knew of Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s activities. However, after the team of the actress’ lawyers moved the Delhi court for her interim bail, the court asked ED to file a response to the plea. Considering this, the actress will be appearing before the court today. Confirming the same, her lawyer Prashant Patil was quoted in an ETimes report saying, "We shall be appearing before the Honourable Special Court at Delhi. The matter is listed for final arguments on the bail application of Jacqueline."
The actress became involved in this case after she was accused of accepting gifts from Sukesh Chandrashekhar, worth Rs. 7 crores. While her gifts involved luxury items, it was also reported that her family received financial benefits from the conman as well. Besides her, another actress who was involved in the case was Nora Fatehi. While both the actresses were named as a witness in the first chargesheet filed by the ED, Jacqueline was later named as accused after it was claimed that the actress accepted these gifts despite knowing that they were the ‘proceeds’ of the crime.
