In the same conversation, Janhvi talked about her love for the holy shrine, Tirupati. She mentioned her frequent visits to the place, which influenced her decision to marry over there. Moreover, the actress expressed that earlier, she had attended the wedding of a loved one over there, and therein, she felt the beauty of such intimate weddings. Moreover, she revealed how the large-scale events bring a lot of anxiety to her. Thus, elaborating more about her choice of intimate wedding over there, she said:
"I visit Tirupati a lot. And when taking such a big step in my life, I’d want to get married there, with the person that I love. Also, in the past, I attended the wedding of a family member there...and really enjoyed it. I don’t like big weddings — they’re fun to attend, but being the centre of attention at such a big event will give me too much anxiety!"
For her birthday in 2024, Janhvi visited the shrine to offer prayers to the almighty and seek blessings, along with her boyfriend, aunt and best friend, Orry. In a few pictures shared by Orry, she was seen climbing the stairs of Tirupati Balaji temple, as per a widespread practice preached there. Orry documented the entire journey and shared it on his YouTube channel, wherein the three of them started climbing the stairs after relishing a hearty vegetarian meal at Janhvi’s aunt’s house. After a certain number of stairs, the three of them began to climb the stairs on their knees. But although Orry gave up after a few steps, Janhvi continued her journey on her knees, which was quite impressive.
