Late legendary actress Sridevi's elder daughter Janhvi Kapoor is set to make her Bollywood debut with Shashank Khaitan's 'Dhadak' opposite Shahid Kapoor's half-brother Ishaan Khatter. Ever since film's producer Karan Johar announced the film, he got mercilessly trolled for introducing two more star-kids after Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. Now, the 'Dhadak' lead pair is busy with the film's promotions & during the same, Janhvi has finally opened up on people referring to her as a product of nepotism.

Speaking about the same, Janhvi told a news agency that, “I underestimated how angry people are. They are pissed off. But I can’t judge. I can understand where their frustration is coming from. It must be hard. I do feel cornered and bullied at times. Like, “why are you so angry?” Maybe I suck, but give me a chance."

During the interview, she also accepts that there are far more talented actors than her but she doesn't want to miss good opportunities that will come her way.

She further told Reuters that, “I feel a responsibility towards them as well. I understand that you feel like you have been robbed of an opportunity that has been handed to me. I’m sure there are people who are more talented than me, and more good-looking than me – I promise you there are. But I am not going to pass on this opportunity just because… (trails off). It’s a big deal for me. Why the hell should I give it up?”

Speaking about her debut film 'Dhadak', the film is an official adaptation of much-loved Marathi film 'Sairat' featuring Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar.
