Sridevi gets candid on her equation with her daughters on Mother’s Day

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, actress Sridevi spoke about her grown up daughters, Jhanvi and Khushi like never before. She spoke about her equation with her daughters. She said, “They are friendly with both of us. Khushi is closer to Boney ji and Jhanvi is closer to me. Jhanvi, I feel is more like me — absolutely obedient.”

She narrated an incident, “I remember… once my mom narrated an incident about me to her friends. She had asked me to sit on the compound wall of our building as she was talking to the neighbours. Suddenly, she realised she had left something in the kitchen, so she told me, ‘Sit here. I will just come.’ She went and got busy with other things and after two hours, she remembered that she left her daughter sitting on the wall. She came running out to meet me and found me sitting quietly in the same position she had left me! My mother asked me, ‘Why didn’t you call out to me?’ I said, ‘But you told me to sit here…’ She told everybody this story about what an obedient child I was.” She then added, “At the same time, Khushi is also obedient, but will not sit on the wall for two hours, but I think Jaanu will… Both my children are extremely attached to us. Jhanvi seeks more attention from me while Khushi can manage things on her own. Though Jhanvi’s grown up now, sometimes I still have to feed her. She won’t eat properly at certain times so I have to make sure that she eats properly. Sometimes she tells me to put her to sleep so all these nakhras she does. Khushi has always been a very independent person right since childhood.”

She also spoke about sharing fashion tips with her daughters, “We discuss what we are wearing and what we need to wear for any occasion, but kabhi kabhi Boney ji bhi beech mein aa jaate hai aur bolte hai aap logo ne apna decide karr liya, but what about me? Then Jhanvi and Khushi try to convince him and they enjoy helping him with the new and interesting styles.”
