Actor Janhvi Kapoor has opened up about the lack of meaningful conversation around alcohol addiction, highlighting how the topic is often either ignored or approached with judgment.
Calls for More Compassionate Conversations
Speaking at the launch of an alcohol awareness initiative titled Off The Rocks, Janhvi stressed the need for a more informed and empathetic approach toward addiction.
She pointed out that discussions around alcohol use are often missing or overly critical, which can prevent people from seeking help.
According to her, addiction should not be seen as a moral failing but as a clinical condition that requires care, understanding, and proper treatment.
Addiction Linked to Mental Health
Janhvi also highlighted the connection between alcohol addiction and mental health. She explained that while drinking is widely normalised in social settings, there is little awareness about when it becomes a serious issue.
She emphasized that people struggling with addiction need support systems rather than stigma, adding that initiatives like Off The Rocks aim to make help more accessible and conversations more open.
Breaking the Stigma
The actor underlined that alcohol addiction affects individuals across all backgrounds and should be acknowledged without bias.
Her message focused on shifting public perception—from judgment to awareness—so that those affected feel encouraged to seek assistance without fear.
Recent Work and Upcoming Projects
On the professional front, Janhvi Kapoor was last seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, a romantic comedy that performed moderately at the box office and later gained attention on streaming platforms.
She will next appear in the Telugu film Peddi, alongside Ram Charan, scheduled for release on April 30, 2026. The film marks another major step in her pan-India career following Devara.
