Janhvi Kapoor, who went on a brief cycling tour in Lokhandwala on Thursday, was spotted schooling the paparazzi for not maintaining social distance outside her apartment premises. In a video, the 24-year-old actress can be seen halting on her way back to her apartment to maintain safe distance from the sea of paparazzi as they followed her for pictures. Janhvi, who was visibly displeased, can then be heard requesting the shutterbugs to make way for her and her sister Khushi, politely. "Aise please maat karo, raasta please de do (Please don't do this... please clear the way)." Janhvi and Khushi were also accompanied by a friend on their cycling tour.
Janhvi Kapoor, who went cycling with her face mask on, did not pose for pictures, like she usually does. After requesting the paparazzi to move away, she got off the cycle and quickly made her way inside through the gates.
