She rejected a movie alongside south superstar Mahesh Babu: Reportedly, Janhvi was offered a Telugu movie directed by AR Murugadoss alongside Mahesh Babu for her big debut, but she declined it. However, Janhvi said she wasn’t entirely ready at the time and wanted to be fully prepared before she came in front of the camera.

Alleged relationships: There have been rumours that Janhvi is dating Akshat Ranjan, who is the son of one of India’s biggest construction giants. They have been spotted together at various places and Akshat has been spotted with Janhvi’s entire family at movie screenings. This led to a lot of speculations. Janhvi was also rumoured to be in a relationship with Shikhar Pahariya, the grandson of former union minister Kumar Shinde. In 2016, a few kissing pictures of Janhvi with Shikhar went viral on social media.
