Re-sharing a video posted by Jist, Janhvi wrote, 'What enables such reckless behaviour? What makes anyone think it's okay to drive under the influence of alcohol and endanger themselves and people around them?'
"The casual nature of this crime is baffling. The amount of deaths and injuries due to drinking and driving even more so. Why aren't we more respectful and aware about the fact that it is AGAINST THE LAW," she added.
As per an India Today report, a woman under the influence of alcohol rammed her car into a bike in Rajasthan's Jaipur. The girl died, and two others were injured. The incident took place on Monday night when the driver hit a bike carrying three people. The injured are currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
This isn't the first time that Janhvi has spoken about an accident. Last month, she had shared a post on the Vadodara road accident. A woman was killed on the spot and four others sustained injuries when a speeding car driven by a 20-year-old law student crashed into their two-wheelers in Gujarat's Vadodara.
Janhvi re-shared a video about the accident and wrote, 'This is appalling and enraging. Sick to my stomach about anyone thinking this kind of behaviour is something they can get away with. Intoxicated or not.'
Fans will see Janhvi next with Sidharth Malhotra in Param Sundari. The film revolves around a love story where two very different worlds collide--"North ka munda" meets "South ki Sundari". Directed by Tushar Jalota, the rom-com is set to release in theatres on July 25.
In the coming months, Janhvi will also be seen alongside Ram Charan in his much-anticipated 16th film, now titled Peddi. It is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and also stars Shiva Raj Kumar, Divyenndu and Jagapathi Babu in prominent roles.

The set of Ram Charan's production, The India House, witnessed a serious accident after a water tank burst causing sudden flooding. As per a report in India Today, an assistant cameraperson and a few other crew members sustained injuries. The film stars Nikhil Siddhartha in the lead role and is being directed by Ram Vamsi Krishna. It is unclear if the actor and director were present on the set at the time of the accident. A video from the set shows how a huge amount of water flooded on the set. The set was located near Shamshabad in Telengana. A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Ram Charan announced the pan-Indian film in 2023 with Nikhil Siddhartha and Anupam Kher in lead roles. The film was announced on the 140th birth anniversary of Veer Savarkar. On the occasion of the 140th birth anniversary of our great freedom fighter Veer Savarkar Garu we are proud to announce our pan India film – THE INDIA HOUSE headlined by Nikhil Siddhartha, Anupam Kher ji & director Ram Vamsi Krishna! Jai Hind!@actor_Nikhil @AnupamPKher… — Ram Charan (@AlwaysRamCharan) May 28, 2023 Ram Charan was last seen in Shankar's Game Changer that failed to create an impression amongst the audience. It also bombed at the box office. Despite a humungous budget, the film could only manage to make Rs 131.17 crore, as per Sacnilk, in India. It was reported that the makers spent Rs 75 crore in shooting four of the songs of the film but director Shankar dismissed those claims. In a chat with Behindwoods TV, Shankar said in Tamil, 'No filmmaker is ever satisfied with their film. I definitely feel like the film could have done better. There were so many good scenes, but they were trimmed, due to which we missed a lot of good things. I can't put every scene in a three-hour film.' He added, 'The total duration of the film had gone up to five hours. It was like carving a statue. If you want to carve a good statue, it is better if it is made of stone.'

Grisly Meghalaya honeymoon horror or Modi govt anniversary? TV news chased Sonam all week
A 'grisly' plot in which a 'bride doomed husband to death' ( NDTV 24×7 ) has 'shaken entire Hindustan' ( Times Now Navbharat) and dominated the news cycle after the 'Killer wife' Sonam ( India Today ) turned up at a roadside dhaba in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh on Monday—approximately 17 days after she and her husband disappeared during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. Husband Raja Raghuvanshi's body was discovered on 2 June. If that murder is a 'Honeymoon Horror' ( CNN-News 18 ) that involves ' Pati, Patni aur Woh' , then all the better. Since then, we have been treated to non-stop details of 'Love, Shaadi, Dhoka' (News 24) that involved 'mastermind' Sonam or her boyfriend Raj (ABP News) and 'supari' killers. So many elements to a diabolical murder plot are just too irresistible – and television news channels didn't resist: They ignored even Prime Minister Narendra Modi's completion of his 11th year in office, to chase after the alleged culprits, criss-crossing from Indore to the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya and finally, to Ghazipur. TV's favourite murder mystery The television `bahurani ki kahani' has only gotten juicier in the telling with each passing day. The 'Lapata Lady', as Times Now Navbharat chose to call Sonam, became the 'Killer Wife' (India Today) in the matter of a few hours. It unfolded to include Sonam, her husband Raja, and her alleged lover Raj, who was at least five years younger than her—or so Aaj Tak reported. Then there were the two families of the bride and bridegroom, both of whom threw open their homes to TV reporters. One Times Now reporter entered the newlyweds' bedroom where 'I love u' was written in balloons hanging on the wall. 'This is heartbreaking (for Raja's family). The same woman they had embraced as a daughter was a sinister killer,'' declared the Times Now reporter. It was really like a TV soap opera: family members of Sonam, Raja and Raj had the TV microphone thrust at them.—and agreed to speak. Reporters asked Raja's family, 'What punishment do you want for Sonam?'—by Wednesday, his mother and brother were calling for the death penalty. Sonam's father, mother, were interviewed by TV news channels, The father claimed his daughter was 'seedhi-saadhi ladki' (Aaj Tak). Raj's sister was spoken to —in between tears, she said her brother treated Sonam like a 'sister', called her 'Didi' (Zee News). Raja's mother became a barometer of how the story changed right before our eyes. On Monday, she was careful in her choice of words—she praised Sonam for being 'loving' and said the couple was happy. By Wednesday, she was saying that Sonam was capable of doing anything and that she had probably performed 'black magic' on Raja. His murder was part of a 'sacrifice', she suggested. The mother also claimed that Sonam's family was into tantra. (CNN News 18) When Sonam's brother visited Raja's mother on Wednesday, he was attacked with TV microphones and questions—it was a terrible invasion of privacy. 'Was she having an affair?', 'Who planned the murder of Raja?', 'What is Raj's relationship with Sonam?'—the questions went rat-a-tat-tat at him, ceaselessly. 'Broke all ties with her…'' he said, when he could get a word in. By Wednesday afternoon, we were being given a blow-by-blow account of what apparently happened when Raja was murdered. We were told that Sonam was not only present when Raja was murdered but also gave instructions. 'The deviant wife,' as India Today called her, had a Plan B—if the killers failed to murder her husband, she would push him off the cliff. (India TV). Delicacy is for the fainthearted. Our braveheart news channels jumped right into alleged conspiracy: TV news reported an alleged conversation between Sonam and her lover, Raj, 'Let's kill him…'', 'Make me a widow' (Times Now), 'Maar do…(kill him)' (Republic Bharat). And by Wednesday evening, TV anchors were seriously arguing over the `kundalis' of Sonam and Raja (Times Now Navbharat). Also read: TV news is always enthusiastic about a 'war'—India-Pakistan, Putin-Zelenskyy, Kannada-Tamil Tantric angle No detail of the case was too small for TV news. They turned up at Patna airport on Tuesday to watch Sonam being escorted by police on her way to Shillong—and began investigating which airline she was flying (Aaj Tak guessed Indigo) and how long the flight would take (NDTV India). 'It will be a late-night arrival,' said the NDTV India reporter. There were the alleged accounts of 'chats' in which Sonam denied her husband, 'intimacy' until they visited the temple in Meghalaya. We heard lurid details of how Sonam planned the murder before or just after '9 phere', how she contracted the killers—or did Raj contract them? It wasn't at all clear, but that didn't stop TV news from reporting it. There were stories about 'the widow's plan' (Zee News) to marry Raj after a decent interval. Another story was that Sonam's mother knew or was even involved in the murder plot. One of Raja's brothers told NDTV India that it is '100-70 per cent possible that the mother knew.' And then there was the 'tantric' angle. Republic Bharat and News 24 reported that Sonam's family believed in tantrism. Republic spoke to a jyotish, Ajay Dube, who said there was 'mangal dosh' in the horoscopes of Raja and Sonam. He added darkly that there seemed to be another woman involved in the murder. Honeymoon horror It wasn't just television news: 'Raja, Raj aur Sonam' (India TV) made a splash across daily newspapers and their news websites, too. On 10 June, The Times Of India (Delhi edition) led with it on page 1: 'Honeymoon horror: MP bride, lover got her husband killed in Meghalaya' read its main headline. On the same day, Hindustan Times also carried it on page 1, so did The Indian Express and The Hindu—the latter's report identifies Raj Kushwaha as one of the accused but doesn't mention any love angle between Sonam and him. Odd. All of them roughly recited the same sequence of events as did television news, but without the references to a 'killer wife' or 'hate story' (India Today) and other juicy descriptions of the plot and murder.
