Ghost Stories: Here's how Janhvi Kapoor's house help turned mentor for her role

India Today  

Actor Janhvi Kapoor instantly agreed to feature in Zoya Akhtar's short in the horror anthology Ghost Stories for two reasons: to understand how the filmmaker creates her characters and because she finds herself drawn to "slightly tragic characters". Zoya's short features the Dhadak star as a home nurse tasked with taking care of an elderly woman, played by veteran actor Surekha Sikri. The actor says the story and the character resonated with her on a very "weird level". Calling Zoya an incredible storyteller, the actor says the director, quite meticulously, handed over her a five-page backstory for the character before the film rolled.
