Janhvi Kapoor's Performance in Peddi: The Objectification Debate
Janhvi Kapoor’s performance in Peddi really tore the internet apart. It’s a mess.
People are mostly saying the actor got oversexualized. Too much focus on her waist, midriff, backside. It’s a huge debate, though, about who actually should be blamed for that kind of portrayal.
Most people, they aGree, the director, Buchi Babu Sana , and the makers of the film should take the heat. Objectifying the actress. But then you get the other side. Why would someone in Janhvi Kapoor’s spot aGree to something like that?
One user posted something sharp. “Janhvi Kapoor is losing major aura points after acting in a misogynistic Telugu film.” Then it jumped to the privilege angle. “Of course the patriarchy is to be blamed first, but girl has so much privilege it’s insane she would aGree to something like this.”
Another comment was weird. Someone joked about her liking a post calling out the makers. It was funny to them, they said. “wdym, woman? It’s not like someone forced your ass there to act. You could’ve said NO. You read the script and signed it. Don’t play victim now.”
Then you had the well-wishers. “I hope she realises her self-worth and chooses better scripts.” Or, “Janhvi Kapoor is a brilliant actress. It’s a pity she’s not being used properly by any film industry…”
But there’s the pushback too. Some hate South filmmakers, claiming they are obsessed with vulgarity. But then they point out, Janhvi had a choice to reject those films. She didn't.
Then you get the direct confrontation about her body. One post was pretty blunt. “You are the daughter of India’s first female superstar THEE SRIDEVI. You don’t have to take these roles where all the emphasis is on your chest, navel and waist.” That one hit hard.
“From Devara to Peddi —why isn’t Janhvi Kapoor objecting to this hypersexualizing?”
The fans defended her, of course. They argued that maybe better scenes could have been cut without her knowing. Or that she might have taken the role for the money, or maybe it was just a chance to work with a South superstar like Ram Charan. But honestly? that’s just speculation. The real reason she signed it? nobody really knows.
Some argued she needed a career. The Telugu industry pays well. Actors take roles for professional reasons. So, they shifted the blame. “Let’s blame the director.”
Others pointed out the process. “She doesn’t decide the camera angles and shots. She heard the script. She just knew it was a glam role.”
Then you get the weird defense of the framing. One person wrote something harsh. “Yes, the actress gave you freedom on how to showcase them. And no hate on that. But the way you show her, you seem so perverted.” It was harsh, but some people felt it was true. They asked directors to stop this backwards writing.
There’s the Ranveer Singh comparison floating around too. Someone suggested she did what Ranveer did—signed without a script because Ram Charan was attached. You can’t really break that kind of industry relationship.
And then there’s the final thought. Some just seemed done with the whole thing. “Final cut Janhvi ko koi kyun hi dikhayega… Only possible if Boney was producer.”
It all boils down to this mess. Janhvi allegedly ‘liked’ that post calling out the makers for focusing too much on her waist and backside. It was removed, apparently.
The real conversation between her and the filmmakers? Gone. All we have is this noise online. People are yelling at both sides. The makers, the actress, the whole system. And a lot of people are just saying she should stop acting in films that focus on her body instead of her talent.
