Janhvi Kapoor defends Indian fashion designers

Janhvi Kapoor is very fashion savvy. She loves walking the ramp, doing photoshoots in various outfits, and being a showstopper. Her keen interest in fashion is well known.

Janhvi Kapoor also actively promotes Indian fashion. So, when some online users criticised the presence of too many Indian celebrities and fashion designers at the Met Gala 2025 in New York City, she quickly responded. This year, celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh attended the Met Gala, an event traditionally dominated by American celebrities and designers.

Janhvi didn’t hold back and slammed the trolls for their “colonial mindset.”

Reacting to a post in the comments section, she wrote: “It was high time. Our artisans and designers are the best in the world – they deserve the spotlight on a global stage like the Met. As do our icons. Shouldn’t we be happy we’re finally getting our due instead of salty about how seeing our own people on this platform is making it seem a little less aspirational? Might I say our garments were amongst the most spectacular? Amusing how we’re being almost classist towards ourselves – clearly colonial trauma hasn’t left us.”

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor has Peddi alongside Ram Charan. There’s also buzz that she’s being considered for the Allu Arjun – Atlee film.
