Netizens reacted strongly to Janhvi Kapoor and Jr. NTR’s new sensual song from their upcoming film, ‘Devara’. They emphasised the significant age difference between the on-screen couple. Janhvi Kapoor previously starred with Rajkummar Rao in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, and she most recently released Ulajh, a thriller. Janhvi, who plays Jr. NTR in Devara: Part One, will also make her feature debut in the South Indian film industry.

Dheere Dheere (Chuttamalle), the new song from Janhvi and Jr. NTR’s upcoming film, was released on August 5, 2024, and impressed many with its catchy lyrics. In addition, by reposting the song on his Instagram stories, the actress’ boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, featured it as well. Still, some were unimpressed with the on-screen couple’s chemistry and even drew attention to their enormous age difference. Check out the song here.

Netizens point out the huge age gap between Janhvi Kapoor and Jr. NTR

A Redditor posted a video of Janhvi and Jr. NTR’s song, “Untitled,” on the discussion forum. “This pair looks so odd. The age gap is jarring (Let’s see if it’s justified in the movie). Jr.NTR looks so awkward and out of place.” Soon, other users started sharing their thoughts on Devara’s new song. One user wrote, “She looks like a teen next to him.” Another one penned, “After “Natu natu” this feels like ‘Dont-do Dont-do.'” Check out the post here.

When Janhvi Kapoor talked about online trolling

Janhvi has previously been the target of trolling for various reasons. Since her debut in the business, the actress has been the target of anonymous faces on the internet. She has, nevertheless, grown more resilient to such hurtful remarks over time. In a Galatta Plus conversation, Janhvi stated: “Khushi told me, ‘They hate you on Reddit.’ And I was like (clueless expression). So much of it is so bitter.”

Janhvi had previously claimed that the “extreme scrutiny” that celebrities experience on the discussion forum is the reason she didn’t like Reddit. She discussed information about her personal and professional lives, including her part in the film Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, in an AMA session on Reddit. Janhvi responded as follows when asked if she uses Reddit like many other celebrities:

“Honestly, I feel like I’ve fleetingly heard threads and theories on Reddit, and it’s always kind of scared me a little bit. The scrutiny on Reddit seems a bit extreme. My sister Khushi is quite in sync with what’s happening on Reddit, and sometimes I’ll ask her what the tea is, but I myself don’t browse it. I think I tried once, but I just couldn’t understand how to navigate the threads and all that.”
