Viral Chats Claim Janhvi Kapoor Raised Concerns Over Peddi
According to screenshots shared by Janhvi's fan page, @janhvi_kapoor_slays, the chats allegedly took place on Instagram in October 2025. In the messages, Kapoor is seen allegedly remarking that the makers would focus the camera on her cleavage. She also allegedly said that Ram stood up for her and asked the director not to shoot such angles of her, calling the actor "sweet and the best man in the industry".
She allegedly added: "But guys. Just imagine: see Sreeleela and all. Their mothers are on set. That makes such a difference. Maggi Massi is paavam. If papa comes, they'll pack up. Two extremes."

'They'll Put Camera On Cleavage'
In another message, Kapoor allegedly wrote: "They'll say close-up and put camera on your cleavage. You can't trust anything. I told Dad also after this I'll do Lee Sir's film. And no more south. I just don't relate to how they look at women. It's suffocating and enraging."
The chats quickly gained traction online, sparking discussions about the representation of female actors in mainstream cinema and whether Kapoor was unhappy with her on-screen depiction.
However, there is currently no official confirmation that the viral messages were written by Janhvi Kapoor herself.
The Free Press Journal reached out to Janhvi Kapoor's team regarding the viral chats. However, there was no response at the time of publication.
