Actor Janhvi Kapoor has stirred a social media storm after allegedly liking an Instagram reel that criticized Madhuri Dixit's award-winning performance in Beta while praising her late mother Sridevi's role in Khuda Gawah. The reel claimed Madhuri won for a “vulgar step” while Sridevi’s double role with landmark acting went unnoticed by Filmfare.

A screenshot of Janhvi’s 'like' surfaced on Reddit, sparking heated fan debates. While some users defended Madhuri’s iconic Dhak Dhak song, others said Sridevi was long overlooked by award shows despite powerful roles in Laadla, Gumrah, and English Vinglish.

Some users dismissed the backlash, suggesting it could be another algorithm-related mistake, referencing past celebrity Instagram incidents.

Meanwhile, Janhvi is busy promoting her upcoming film Homebound, which premiered at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, and will also star in Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra.
