Actor Janhvi Kapoor is unbothered when it comes to competition. While ‘female actors can never be friends’ is a notion that gets thrown around quite frequently, she claims it doesn’t hold true for her.

She has only nice things to say about other women in the industry: “My contemporaries — Ananya (Panday), Sara (Ali Khan), Radhika (Madan), Tara (Sutaria) and all — are such wonderful actors. They are confident in the way they carry themselves. My aim in life is to constantly learn (from her peers and co-stars) and hopefully evolve.”

How would she describe the equation she shares with the female actors? Kapoor says it’s one of mutual respect and a lot of ease. “At this point, we are just over the stupid ‘who wore it better’ collages (on social media), or who’s doing what, and who did what better. Of course, there’s an element of insecurity in all of us as human beings, but I think we are confident about our individual personalities. There’s a lot of respect and adoration for each other,” shares the actor, last seen in Good Luck Jerry.

The 25-year-old, whose next project is set to be Mr And Mrs Mahi, goes on to add that only one’s contemporaries are able to relate to what one is going through as a part of showbiz.

Kapoor elaborates, “We are genuinely fond of each other. They are such fun girls, what they are doing is so cool! It’s not easy — whether one comes from a place of privilege or not — to wake up every day and put yourself out there and entertain people. I think they do it with a lot of ease. No one will understand your situation better than your peers.”
