Janhvi Kapoor, almost a year after the release of her debut film Dhadak, is ruling hearts in Bollywood.

Here's a glimpse of Janhvi's personal and professional life on her 22nd birthday.

Arjun Kapoor and Anshula, Boney Kapoor's children with first wife Mona Shourie, united with Janhvi and Khushi after Sridevi's death in 2018. In 2019, Janhvi appeared on Koffee With Karan with Arjun Kapoor where they talked about their recently formed bond.

At an event, Boney Kapoor said that he was "relieved" after Arjun and Anshula "accepted" Janhvi and Khushi. "The way they have accepted Janhvi and Khushi that has made me feel very relieved. My all four children are my strength," he had said.

Janhvi Kapoor debuted opposite Ishaan Khatter in 2018 film Dhadak, which was a remake of Marathi blockbuster Sairat. Dhadak faced resistance from critics and cinephiles, who drew comparisons with the original film.

However, Dhadak performed reasonably well at the box office. The film was directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar.
