Reacting to the incident, Janhvi shared her anger through an Instagram story. “This man belongs in jail,” she wrote. “What gives anyone the right to behave this way? What kind of upbringing leads to such inhumanity without any guilt or remorse?” She also questioned society’s response, saying, “Shame on us for not dealing with this kind of violence more aggressively. Nothing justifies this.”
Her strong words resonated widely, sparking fresh conversations about violence against women and the importance of justice. Janhvi’s willingness to speak out reflects her growing influence beyond films.
