"It’s a part of my grand plan. I won’t stop surprising people,” laughs Janhvi Kapoor, right at the start of our interview. Good Luck Jerry has most definitely taken us by surprise. The crime comedy sees the actor in a de-glam avatar, playing a migrant Bihari girl in Punjab who gets entangled in drug dealing. Her choice of films is refreshing in an industry that encourages young actors to sign YA movies, and post glamorous pictures on social media, all in the pursuit of stardom. Kapoor has no patience for such diktats. “I will never stop chasing roles that interest me and are as diverse as possible. My personal life is different from work. Who I am and what I post on Instagram have no bearing on the actor I aspire to be. I am constantly told perception is important, and how I need to create an image that goes with the work I am doing. I can’t bring myself to follow these norms,” she says.
