Janhvi Kapoor has responded to the backlash surrounding her alcohol addiction awareness initiative, revealing that her remarks were misinterpreted.
In an exclusive interview on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the Dhadak actress opened up about drinking more than usual following a traumatic experience.
The actress has now come forward to clear her name after several media outlets spread misleading information regarding addiction.
Sharing a post on her Instagram Stories, Janhvi made sure to get her message across.
The post read as follows,“We at Off The Rocks & Amaha have noticed certain media pages misrepresenting content associated with this initiative and Janhvi Kapoor. This is deeply concerning.
“We want to be clear: Janhvi Kapoor is part of this conversation as a caregiver and ally, not as someone who has had any personal experience with addiction or alcohol dependence. Such misrepresentation not only diminishes her role but also undermines and disrespects the real, lived experiences of those battling addiction and those supporting them.
“Let’s not trivialise efforts to lend a healing hand to a critical problem by spreading misleading information for the sake of clickbait.”
In addition, the Mili star noted that substance abuse is a sensitive topic and that media outlets should maintain their integrity and refrain from making unfounded comments about public figures.
