Janhvi Kapoor became the subject of social media chatter after revealing an unusual personal talent during an interview at Paris Fashion Week 2026. In a video segment, the actor shared that she can twist her tongue almost “360 degrees,” describing the ability herself as a “really stupid and useless skill.”
What was intended as a light-hearted response quickly gained attention online, with social media users reacting with jokes, criticism and comparisons to another Bollywood celebrity.
Why Is Janhvi Kapoor Being Trolled?
The discussion began after Kapoor appeared in a quick-fire interview during Paris Fashion Week. When asked about a hidden or lesser-known talent, she spoke about her unusual ability with her tongue.
According to Kapoor, she developed the trick during her school years after being influenced by her classmates. While other students attempted to touch their tongues to their noses, something she could not do, Kapoor said she experimented with different tongue movements instead.
She eventually learned to rotate her tongue almost 360 degrees. Kapoor herself acknowledged that it was not a particularly useful ability, but the comment quickly gained traction once the interview clip circulated online.
Social Media Users Compare Her With Ananya Panday
The video prompted a range of reactions from social media users. Some questioned why the unusual talent was being discussed during a major fashion event, while others turned the moment into a source of humour.
Several users also compared Kapoor’s revelation with an earlier incident involving Ananya Panday. Panday had previously attracted online attention after demonstrating her ability to touch her nose with her tongue during a television appearance.
Drawing a connection between the two moments, one social media user commented, “Same skill as Ananya! I would have thought in lines of acting!” Others treated the comparison as another example of celebrity moments becoming viral online.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Upcoming Projects
Despite the social media reactions to her Paris Fashion Week interview, Kapoor continues to remain active professionally. She is currently preparing for her upcoming feature film Lag Ja Gale, which stars Tiger Shroff and Lakshya alongside her.
The online conversation also comes after Kapoor spoke about concerns surrounding deepfake technology and the misuse of AI-generated media.
While her tongue trick became an unexpected talking point from her Paris appearance, the actor continues to attract attention for both her public appearances and upcoming film projects.
