Janhvi said that she has felt this a lot of time when the director makes more eye-contact with the actor than the female actor.


 

On this statement, Dhadak actress said that this may be happened due to the long role of the actor or the scene in the film.

She further added that this is due to some sort of subliminal feeling that is making the director to do so.

Elucidating upon the statement, The Gunjan Saxena actress revealed that there is a lot of attention that is paid to how they look and they are presented. Even a person is judged very quickly about their appearances and what they are wearing.
