Janhvi
Feels
Bollywood
Has
Glorified
Class
Divide
Janhvi
says
Dhadak
is
not
a
typical
Bollywood
saga
that
whitewashes
the
harsh
reality
that
is
still
relevant.
"...
I
feel
up
until
this
point,
a
lot
of
films
in
mainstreamBollywood have
glorified
that
divide.
Because
it
creates
a
sort
of
conflict
-
that
'I
can't
live
without
the
love
of
my
life'.
I
feel
they
have
glorified
that
divide
a
little
bit.
'It
Should
Be
Condemned'
"But
I
think,
it
should
be
condemned
and
with
'Dhadak',
we
have
set
out
to
condemn
it.
That
it's
a
harsh
reality.
'Dhadak'
is
not
a
Bollywood
saga
that
ends
with
either
the
parents
agreeing
or
typical,
magnificent
ending.
It's
an
ugly
truth," she
told PTI in
an
interview.
Janhvi
Also
Discussed
The
Issue
With
Shashank
The
actor
remembers
discussing
the
class
divide
with
Khaitan
and
says
going
into
the
film,
it
was
a
pressing
issue
to
deal
with.
"I
remember
Shashank
and
I
talking
about
how
classism
is
prevalent
not
only
in
the
lesser-educated
sections
of
the
society
but
also
in
the
well-educated
strata,"
she
says.
Janhvi
Says
Her
Character,
Parthavi,
Is
Stronger
Than
Her
Real
Self
Comparisons
with
Rinku
Rajguru's
Archie,
the
female
lead
of
Sairat
are
unavoidable
but
the
actor is
already
prepared
herself
for
that.
"Archie's
character
was
so
inspiring
to
a
lot
of
young
girls.
She
didn't
have
to
be
saved.
I'm
fortunate
to
play
Parthavi.
She's
also
assertive
like
Archie,
but
a
lot
of
that
comes
with
her
sense
of
pride
and
responsibility
that
she
belongs
to
an
effluent
royal
family,"
she
says.
Janhvi
Was
Also
All
Praises
For
Ishaan
Her
co-star
Ishaan
Khatter
is
relatively
more
experienced,
having
made
his
debut
with
Majid
Majidi's
"Beyond
The
Clouds"
early
this
year
but
he
never
tried
to
impose.
"I
feel
one film is
worth
a
number
of
experiences,
not
only
as
an
artiste
but
also
as
an
individual
that
helps
you
channel
a
plethora
of
emotions.
It's
only
going
to
be
good
for
me
and
the film. I
know
Ishaan
has
helped
me
react
well
on
screen
but
he
never
tried
to
impose.
I
learnt
a
lot
from
him."
Dhadak
releases
this
Friday.
