Actress Janhvi Kapoor has become a focal point of online discussion after her strong opinions on infidelity surfaced from a chat show. On an episode featuring Twinkle Khanna and Kajol, Kapoor found herself in a minority when the conversation turned to the severity of physical versus emotional cheating.
Khanna, Kajol, and Karan Johar appeared to suggest that physical infidelity might not always signify the end of a relationship. In contrast, Janhvi Kapoor articulated a clear and unwavering belief that both physical and emotional betrayals are equally detrimental. She pushed back against the idea that past infidelity could be easily forgotten, stating that “Baat nahi gayi” (the issue persists) even when confronted with the adage “Raat gayi baat gayi” (what’s done is done).
Kapoor’s direct response to Karan Johar’s assertion that “physical infidelity is not a deal breaker” was a powerful “It’s already broken.” While Twinkle Khanna’s comment about Janhvi’s views potentially changing with age was noted, the overwhelming internet sentiment has been one of admiration for Janhvi’s refusal to normalize cheating. Many users commended her for her ‘spine’ and mature outlook, finding her perspective more grounded than her co-panelists.
