Janhvi Kapoor recently shared some heartfelt memories about her late mother, Sridevi, and how her father, Boney Kapoor, supported their family. In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Janhvi opened up about her mother’s difficulty in accepting that her daughters were growing up and how her father played a key role in encouraging Sridevi to return to her career.
Sridevi’s Difficulty Accepting Her Daughters’ Growth
Janhvi Kapoor revealed that Sridevi found it hard to accept that her daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, were growing up. According to Janhvi, Sridevi did not believe they needed to wear bras, thinking they were still too young for them. When Janhvi was first introduced to the idea of wearing a bra, it was not her mother who did it. Instead, Janhvi mentioned that she had to insist to her mother, saying, “I think I need it mom. Like, I really think I do.” This showed how Sridevi was in denial about her daughters growing up and was reluctant to accept these changes.

You are feeling confident. Then wear what you want. I have always come from that upbringing and that lens. Where he was like, work if you want to. Wear what you want. Speak what you want. Don’t worry so much about me. Make your friends. Go on a trip.’ Boney, stands up for Janhvi and her sister.
