Janhvi Kapoor’s Tongue Trick Is the Least of Her Problems

Janhvi Kapoor’s tongue-twisting trick has become the internet’s latest obsession — and not in a good way. At Paris Fashion Week 2026, during a candid chat with The Cut, she revealed she can twist her tongue nearly 360 degrees. 'It’s a really stupid and useless skill,' she admitted, adding that it was born out of schoolyard rivalry.

When classmates tried touching their tongues to their noses, she couldn’t. So she found another way to stand out. That’s when the party trick was born. Now, it’s trending for all the wrong reasons. Social media didn’t just mock, it weaponised.

One user wrote: ‘Same skill as Ananya!’ referring to the ongoing speculation around Ananya Panday’s absence from Chanel’s Spring 2027 show. Another called it a ‘hopeless case.’ The joke’s on Janhvi, but the real issue isn’t the tongue. It’s what’s being done with her image online. A fake video circulating on platforms shows her in a sexually explicit scene with Jr NTR’s character from Devara: Part 1, digitally manipulated using AI.
