Janhvi Kapoor recently appeared on the IMDb exclusive segment, On the Scene, to talk about her film Ulajh. Directed by Sudhanshu Saria, the movie narrates a story of patriotism, sacrifice and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

When asked one thing she would never do for a role, Janhvi mentioned that she would not go bald, even if it was a life-changing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She said, “They can just put a bald cap on or use VFX. I have dislocated my shoulder, I’ve bled, had broken bones, put myself through all kinds of trauma and torture, but going bald is something I refuse to do. Even for my character in Ulajh, Sudhanshu wanted me to cut my hair short and it was my biggest fight with him. Because I remember during Dhadak when I cut my hair, my mom (the late actress Sridevi) yelled at me a lot and said, ‘How could you? Do not cut your hair for any role!’ Every third or fourth day, she used to put oil in my hair and massage my head. She was very proud of my hair. So I will not cut my hair.”

That said, Janhvi Kapoor is surely going the Sridevi way. Her choice of roles are a clear indication that she wants films centered round her character (Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Roohi, Good Luck Jerry, Mili, Ulajh) or those in which she has an equal role to the hero (Bawaal, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi). Sridevi was one of the last few heroines whose market cloud matched their heroes, or sometimes outclassed their standing. And Janhvi seems to be following her tracks here as well. Remember Nagina, Chandni, Chaalbaaz, English Vinglish,  Mom and more?
