Janhvi Kapoor decided to ‘detach’ herself from Sridevi during Dhadak shoot: “I used to feel I had an unfair advantage, a trump card”

Janhvi Kapoor is the daughter of the late legendary actress, Sridevi recently attended a conclave where she was seen in a beautiful black shimmer saree. In the same event, during an emotional moment, Janhvi opened up about her mother. With a career that left an indelible mark on the Indian film industry, Sridevi continues to be an inspiration and driving force in Jahnvi’s life.

At AajTak Agenda, Janhvi Kapoor said, “Mom had only told me that my first film and performance won’t be compared to her first film, it’ll be compared to her last film and she said to me, ‘This kind of pressure I wouldn’t even want my enemy to have.’ My sister and I would initially stress a lot, and would get very nervous, overworked with the baggage,” shared Janhvi. But then she took the comparisons in her stride. But then I began to understand I’m being compared to mumma, so that’s the standard! I think that’s what started motivating me.”

Janhvi added, “When I started working on my first film, I was so conscious that I wanted to be completely detached from her because people anyway used to think that I got my first film because I am Sridevi Kapoor’s daughter. I don’t know what different trip I went on, that I will not take any help from my mother. I will act completely differently from my mom’s style of acting. I used to tell her not to come on sets. I used to feel I had an unfair advantage, a trump card. But now I feel I was foolish at that time. Main hoon unki beti, iss sacchai se main bhag nahi sakti (I am her daughter and nothing can change that truth). Now that she is not here, this is my biggest regret.”

Sridevi passed away tragically in accidental death a few months before Janhvi Kapoor’s Bollywood debut Dhadak.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will be seen in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, Ulajh and the much-awaited Jr. NTR starrer action entertainer Devara Part 1, which is releasing in cinemas on April 5th, 2024.
