Janhvi Kapoor on taking Sridevi’s legacy forward

Bawaal actress Janhvi Kapoor got into a conversation with Film Companion where she opened up about Sridevi. She shared, “I cannot abandon my mom’s (Sridevi) legacy. I need to take it forward, I will die trying. It means the most to me. I need to work day and night tirelessly so that I justify that I got this opportunity easily. And I feel like I have taken somebody’s spot. So it is only right for me, out of respect, to overcompensate, in order to justify this.”

Along with this, Janhvi also opened up about her love for movies. She said, “I am obsessed with movies, it is all I have ever known. My education has been through movies. My livelihood is based on that. The least I can do is give my entire being and devote it to the craft. And I feel like if people say ye privilege, ye fame virasat mein mili hai toh khoon toh maa-baap ka hi hai na? Toh phir mehnat, this devotion to cinema, this love for cinema, that is also in my blood. I don’t know, I will die trying.”

And I could hear wailing from Khushi’s room. And I think I barged into her room howling and crying. But what I do remember, Karan, is she looked at me.” The actress got teary-eyed as she added, “The minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just stopped. She just sat next to me and started comforting me and I’ve never seen her cry about it ever since.”
