Janhvi Kapoor Opens Up on Painful Phase: 'I Was Drinking Frequently to Cope'

Alcohol Relationship

Actor Janhvi Kapoor has spoken candidly about a difficult chapter in her life, revealing how she turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism after a traumatic experience.

A quiet confession about a difficult time

Janhvi Kapoor recently shared that there was a period when she felt emotionally shaken and struggled to deal with what she was going through. During that time, she began relying on alcohol more frequently.

What is the reason?

Janhvi clarified that she did not see herself as addicted, but acknowledged a pattern, stating that she was “drinking frequently” after a traumatic experience and often felt the urge to “just get drunk.”

When coping turns into a pattern

Janhvi explained that her relationship with alcohol changed gradually. What may have started as a way to ease emotional pain soon became something she leaned on more often than she intended.

The turning point

Janhvi said she eventually began to notice changes in her body and behaviour. Hangovers, discomfort, and a growing sense of unease made her reflect on what was happening.

Addiction struggle

Janhvi recalled recognising a familiar smell associated with someone in her life who had struggled with addiction. That realisation acted as a wake-up call.

Choosing to step back

Janhvi said she did not like how alcohol was making her feel, physically or emotionally. That discomfort helped her reassess her choices and take a step back.
