A little nervousness shows sincerity and genuine interest.

For her, emotional and thoughtful gestures matter more than expensive gifts or material things.


Grand romantic Gesture

Janhvi shared a moving personal memory:

A former partner once flew from london to mumbai just to comfort her.

He made the journey only to spend five hours with her after she had a bad dream and was panicking.


She described this as one of the most memorable acts of love she has experienced.


What love Means to Her

Janhvi reflected on broader meanings of love through her film Param Sundari.

She believes love isn’t just romantic—it includes passion for one’s work.

For her, love of cinema drives perseverance, even during tough days.

Creating something fun and memorable for audiences is what fuels her dedication.
