Speaking to Newslaundry, Janhvi said that she seemed "very uneasy" and ungroomed, which "alienated" her from her peers and, in contrast to common belief, did not make her popular. "I guess they didn't get it, therefore they started to hate me. She said, "My friends looked at me differently and made fun of me for not getting waxed. I didn't understand what was going on."
When Janhvi was a teenager, she had a shocking revelation when she saw her modified photos on "inappropriate, almost pornographic pages." The actor said, "more so with today's advanced AI." There have been additional false photos. She stated that she is quite concerned about how people interpret these "manipulated images" as "real" when they view them.
