During the show, Janhvi revealed that she had accepted that she would never get acceptance in the audience's eye because of this whole baggage of nepotism. However, the Roohi actress is glad that finally, her work is being appreciated. Elaborating on the same, she said:
"It's surprising and very heartening with how lovely, and appreciative people have been because honestly, I didn't realise how desperate I had been for this feeling that audience accepts me. I think that has happened to some extent with Good Luck Jerry, but there is a long way to go."
In the same interview, Janhvi accepted being privileged. Further, the actress revealed that although her struggle doesn't include putting food on the table or standing in line for auditions, she has also dealt with hardships. Talking about the same, she said:
"I am just asking them to look at me with an open mind because I work and try hard to entertain people."

Earlier, in a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia at his show, BeerBiceps, Janhvi had opened up on the other side of nepotism. She had revealed that being surrounded by creative people gave her a different perspective on life. In her words:
"I skipped a lot of schools. So, my education was primarily on my dad's film sets or travelling with my mom. I learned things like respecting people's time and different cultures. I think the emotional intelligence that comes with understanding the sensitivity, even artists in an artistic environment, is priceless. And we at home are consumed by our love for films and cinema and honest good work in that field that drives us. After my mom's death, the only thing that kept me and my dad going apart from the love and support from family was our love for films."
On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will be next seen in Nitesh Tiwari's film, Bawaal along with Varun Dhawan.
