Actress Janhvi Kapoor has praised American actress and singer Zendaya, and social media influencer Uorfi Javed for their innovative fashion sense.
Janhvi, who sashayed in an ensemble inspired by a red cricket ball for the promotions of 'Mr. & Mrs. Mahi' on Sunday, had responded to a fan's question during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Instagram. The fan had asked, "Is it true that you're copying Zendaya?"
To that, Janhvi admitted to the influence, saying, "Yes, I think I'm very heavily inspired by what she did for her 'Challengers' and 'Dune: Part Two' promotions. And not just her, I think even Uorfi, how creative she is with her fashion."
Emphasizing the significance of dressing for promotional events, Janhvi remarked, "I feel like as actors, we are all encouraged to kind of do method dressing or dress similar to your character when you are promoting a film. I have never really done it except for 'Dhadak,' but when I saw her doing it and doing it so well and dressing according to the theme of the film, I realized as actors a good amount of attention is put on how we look and how we dress and if I can use that to bring attention back to my film so why not."
"I am really inspired by that and following in her footsteps," Janhvi added.
'Mr. & Mrs. Mahi' stars Rajkummar Rao alongside Janhvi and is directed by Sharan Sharma.
The film is set to release on May 31.
