It was just in February this year when Bollywood lost one of its most iconic movie stars – Sridevi. Her untimely demise came as the biggest shock for all cinema lovers and her zillions of fans world across. Known best as India’s first female superstar, Sridevi is survived by two daughters – Janhvi and Khushi and husband Boney Kapoor. Post her demise, her stepson and actor Arjun Kapoor have strongly stood by the family and they seem to be in a very comfortable and good space with each other. Speaking of Janhvi Kapoor, the young diva made her debut with Shashank Khaitan’s Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khatter this year. With some interesting projects lined up, Janhvi seems to be one of the promising actors in the current lot.
Present at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa recently, the actress opened up about how the year 2018 has turned out for her and mother Sridevi. She said, “I can’t emulate her, even if I wanted to.” Further opening up about how the year made her experience the worst and best of life at the same time, Janhvi said, “It’s harder to say anything… When I say ‘growth’, I mean personal growth, I don’t know about artistic. This year brought me both the worst and the best experience of my life. It’s a little strange… Our family is now united, so that is very big thing for me. But, whatever happened was too heavy. We are still in shock, se we haven’t been able to process it properly. I’m really thankful for all the love that we have received and I got a chance to work, which is a big thing for more. I got a chance to make my parents proud, which is important for me.”
Workwise, Janhvi will be next seen in Karan Johar’s Takht which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Anil Kapoor. The film is slated for May 3, 2020 release, reports Indian Express.
