Janhvi climbs Tirupati’s steps
Talking before the climb, Janhvi revealed that this will be the 50th time she has climbed to the temple, while it was Orry’s first time. In the past, Janhvi has often been spotted visiting Tirupati with her dad Boney Kapoor and sister Khushi Kapoor. Orry detailed how they rested at Janhvi’s Chennai home before driving to Tirupati and stopping at a friend’s home for lunch.
Talking to Orry before reaching Tirupati, Janhvi explained why she wants to climb the stairs to the temple. She said, “You know how they say it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. It’s all about the climb, life is all all about the climb. Everyone must experience climbing to Tirupati because I think it humbles you.” Shikhar, who has also accompanied Janhvi on the trip sometimes stated, “One thing I’ve learnt is that if you look up, you get scared. So don’t, just look down and do it one step at a time.”
In the video Orry shared, Janhvi can also be seen climbing the last leg of the stairs on her knees. Inspired by her, Orry also tries to do the same.

Janhvi along with her father Boney were recently in Hyderabad for the launch of her next Telugu film.
