Jahnvi Doesn’t Impress, Too Objectified

Janhvi Kapoor’s role in Peddi is nothing more than titillating at the most base level, say viewers, who describe it as “disgusting,” “shameless” “absurd” and “pathetic.”

The actress has just about 15 minutes of screen time and the camera mostly focusses on her bosom, waist and navel in the scenes. Ram Charan’s character’s interaction with her is limited to ogling, claiming to be physically aroused and even grabbing a kiss without her consent in one scene. Her part in the sports film is dispensable, feel Netizens.

“The romantic dynamic between Janhvi Kapoor and Ram Charan in #Peddi is one of the most disgusting and dated portrayals I have seen. Shameless shots of her navel and chest. No care for consent. Moral stance of a saviour while constantly ogling and letching at her!” writes film critic and online content creator Anmol Jamvwa. “Where was censor board this time??” demands one social media user. In Devara, Janhvi Kapoor’s role was also limited to ‘lust interest.’
