Janhvi Kapoor Fires Back at Malayalam Accent Trolls

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor is no stranger to the spotlight, but this time it isn’t just about her films or fashion. Her upcoming movie Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra has stirred a small storm even before release. In the film, Janhvi steps into the shoes of a young woman from Kerala, and that detail has triggered a wave of comments. Some fans have been quick to point fingers at her accent and her background, questioning if she could really pull off a Malayalam girl’s identity.

During a recent promotional event, Janhvi didn’t stay quiet. With calm confidence, she addressed the issue head-on. She admitted that she is not a Malayalam girl and doesn’t come from that culture, but she reminded everyone that cinema is about transformation and storytelling. More importantly, she revealed her admiration for Malayalam films, calling herself a long-time fan. This was her way of saying that respect for culture can exist even without being born into it.

Interestingly, Janhvi also shared a small twist about her role. In Param Sundari, she isn’t restricted to playing only a Malayali character. The script also presents her as a Tamil girl, adding multiple shades to her journey in the story. This blend, according to her, makes the film more entertaining and less about stereotypes.

Now, with the film set to release on the 29th of this month, all eyes are on Janhvi. The criticism has only added to extra curiosity about her performance. Whether audiences accept her Kerala-Tamil mix on screen or not, one thing is certain, Janhvi is learning to fire back at trolls without losing her grace. And maybe that’s the real transformation her fans are excited to watch.
