While
the
film
industry
continues
to
debate
on
the
topic
of
nepotism
and
the
treatment
of
outsiders
vs
insiders,
Janhvi
Kapoor
in
a
recent
interview,
acknowledged
her
privileged
background
and
said
that
she
feels
she
has
been
extremely
lucky
to
have
got
certain
opportunities.
The
Dhadak
actress
told
Barkha
Dutt,
"I
haven't
had
to
deal
with
the
kind
of
things
that
most
women
have
to
deal
with.
Because
I
do
come
from
a
slightly
more
privileged
background
and
so
I
have
been
extremely
lucky
in
the
way
that
I
have
been
treated
and
the
opportunities
that
I
have
gotten."
On
being
asked
about
her
experience
of
meeting
and
playing
Gunjan
Saxena
in
the
midst
of
the
ongoing
debate
about
privileges
(of
a
star
kid),
Janhvi
said,
"I
don't
think
I
have
anything
to
complain
about,
but
hearing
her
story,
being
in
a
simulated
environment,
when
knowing
that
she's
been
in
probably
these
real
situations,
I
don't
know
if
I
can
say
maybe
sympathise,
but
it
made
me
come
close
to
what
it
may
have
been
like,
and
it,
of
course,
broadened
my
horizon
and
perspective
of
what
women
might
be
going
through."
The
actress
also
opened
about
the
casual
sexism
that
she
sometimes
has
to
deal
with.
She
said
that
sometimes
during
narrations,
the
filmmaker
seemingly
pays
more
attention
or
makes
more
eye
contact
with
the
male
actor.
"In
my
head,
I
was
like
this
is
happening
maybe
because
he
has
a
longer
scene.
But
then
I
realised
that
maybe
it's
just
some
sort
of
subliminal
conditioning
that
is
making
them
do
that," Janhvi
told
Barkha
Dutt.
Jahnvi
also
revealed
her
biggest
takeaway
from
the
film
and
her
learning
from
Gunjan
Saxena.
She
said,
"It
all
comes
down
to
the
effort
and
the
hard
work
you
put
in
towards
your
work.
Her
outlook
was
very
simple,
if
you
keep
working
hard,
then
one
will
get
where
one
has
to
get."
The
actress
said
that
the
fact
that
Gunjan
Saxena
didn't
let
the
construct
of
society
or
the
gender
bias
or
anything
else
be
an
obstacle
in
her
mind,
or
she
even
never
victimised
herself,
but
instead
just
kept
through
her
work,
and
working
hard
is
something
that
inspired
her
the
most.
Janhvi
further
continued
that
she
is
so
aware
of
her
privilege
that
she
often
feels
guilty
about
it.
However,
it
also
motivates
her
to
work
harder
to
earn
her
place.
Speaking
about
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl,
the
film
is
slated
to
premiere
on
August
12,
2020
on
Netflix.
