Janhvi Kapoor recently spoke about the loss of her mother, Sridevi, and how media coverage made her grief even harder to bear. She revealed that at the time, she held back her emotions, fearing that her pain would be sensationalized in headlines.

Calling today’s media coverage “voyeuristic,” Janhvi expressed concern over society’s growing curiosity about private tragedies. She also referenced the recent overblown media reporting around veteran actor Dharmendra’s health, noting that the repeated false news of his death highlighted the decline in journalistic sensitivity.

Janhvi emphasized that the issue lies not just with journalists but also with audiences, who encourage such content through clicks, comments, and shares. She reflected that earlier, there was at least some hesitation before crossing personal boundaries, but now the race for views has resulted in a “loss of morality.”

She admitted that she still feels sadness and anger over how her mother’s passing was treated and finds it depressing that people take interest in others’ suffering.
