Janhvi Kapoor, the Indian actress, recently faced backlash after her comments on the Raj Shamani Podcast were misinterpreted, leading many to believe she discussed addiction. In response, her initiative, Off the Rocks, released an official statement clarifying that Kapoor is involved as a caregiver and ally, not as someone with personal addiction experience. The statement expressed concern over media misrepresentation, stating that it undermines the struggles of those battling addiction. Kapoor had mentioned on the podcast that while she was not addicted, she drank frequently following a traumatic experience, which led her to reflect on the negative impact of alcohol on her health. The statement concluded with a call for responsible reporting on sensitive topics like addiction. On the professional front, Kapoor is set to star in 'Peddi' opposite Ram Charan, with a release date of June 6, 2026.
