Janhvi Kapoor has issued a statement clarifying that she was never addicted to alcohol, despite recent misinterpretation of her comments on a podcast. In a post from Off The Rocks and Amaha, she expressed concern over the misrepresentation of her remarks, stating that she was part of the conversation as a caregiver and ally, not as someone who has had any personal experience of addiction or alcohol dependence.
The statement also urged media houses, digital platforms, and individuals to report with integrity and sensitivity, emphasizing that misinformation in this space is harmful, irresponsible, and disrespectful to the community the dialogue aims to support.
Janhvi had previously spoken about a phase in her life when she consumed alcohol frequently after a traumatic experience, but clarified that she was not addicted or abusing alcohol. She expressed her awareness of the impact of alcohol on her body and well-being over time.
Janhvi will next be seen in the sports action drama Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and starring Ram Charan in the lead, alongside Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu in key roles. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 6, 2026.
