Janhvi Kapoor is one of the most popular actors from the current generation of Bollywood celebrities. The actress has an interesting line-up of films to look forward to this year including `Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari`, `Mr and Mrs Mahi` and the pan-India film `Devara`. Before joining the film industry in 2018 with the film `Dhadak`, the actress studied the art of performing at an institute in Los Angeles. However, she recently revealed that she did not learn anything from there. In a recent interview, Janhvi shared that she went to Lee Strasberg Institute in Los Angeles but their approach to educating their students was focused only on Hollywood.
Talking to The Week, Janhvi said, "I learnt nothing there". She said that even though living in LA was fun and the school was great, it did not help her much. However she did enjoy living at a place where she was not recognized as Sridevi and Boney Kapoor`s daughter. “My main agenda, and I think the thrill in it for me was… for the first time to be in an environment where I wasn’t being identified as someone’s daughter. And I think that anonymity was so refreshing and that’s what I held on to the most,” she said.
