Actor Janhvi Kapoor has shared an emotional reflection on her late mother Sridevi, speaking about the superstar’s dedication to family, the values she instilled, and the ways she continues to feel connected to her memory.
In a recent interview, Janhvi opened up about growing up with one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated actors and revealed that even years after Sridevi’s passing, the loss remains deeply felt.
Remembering Sridevi Beyond the Spotlight
Janhvi said that while she was aware of her mother’s immense popularity, she mostly experienced Sridevi as a devoted parent rather than a film icon.
According to the actress, Sridevi consciously stepped away from the spotlight for a period to focus on family life and embraced her role as a mother with complete dedication.
Janhvi recalled that her mother approached family responsibilities with the same commitment and discipline that had defined her remarkable acting career.

A Family-First Approach
Sharing memories from her childhood, Janhvi described Sridevi as someone whose greatest priorities revolved around her loved ones.
She remembered how deeply her mother valued family moments and how emotionally affected she would be when work commitments kept her away from home.
One particular memory involved Sridevi feeling upset after missing important family celebrations while filming abroad, highlighting how much she cherished spending time with her husband Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.
Lessons That Continue to Inspire
Janhvi also reflected on the advice Sridevi frequently gave her about acting and life.
One lesson that has remained with her is the belief that authenticity matters both on and off screen. According to Janhvi, her mother often emphasized that honesty and sincerity as a person ultimately influence one’s performances as an actor.
The actress said those values continue to guide her career choices and approach to work.
Living Up to a Legendary Legacy
As the daughter of one of Indian cinema’s most iconic stars, Janhvi acknowledged that comparisons with Sridevi are inevitable.
However, she emphasized that no one can truly replicate what her mother achieved during her extraordinary career.
Rather than trying to match those accomplishments, Janhvi said her goal is to honor Sridevi’s legacy and carry forward the values and passion she inherited from her.

Dreams That Feel Real
One of the most emotional moments of the conversation came when Janhvi spoke about the dreams she occasionally has about her mother.
The actress revealed that in those dreams, it often feels as though Sridevi has simply gone away for a trip and is preparing to return home.
She admitted that while she has accepted reality, moments like these remain deeply emotional and comforting at the same time.
Where Janhvi Feels Closest to Her Mother
Janhvi shared that there are two places where she feels most connected to Sridevi.
The first is on a film set, where performing in front of the camera reminds her of her mother’s passion for cinema and the profession they both share.
The second is Tirupati, a place of spiritual significance for the actress. She explained that visits there bring her a sense of peace and connection that is difficult to describe.
