Khushi Kapoor marked her late mother Sridevi’s birth anniversary with a rare glimpse into her childhood.
Sridevi, one of the most celebrated actresses in Indian cinema, was born on August 13, 1963. On the occasion, Khushi shared a treasured family photograph on social media featuring herself as a young girl with Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor.
The picture captures a quiet family moment. Khushi can be seen standing between her parents while holding both their hands as they pose together for the camera.
Unlike a conventional birthday tribute, Khushi did not accompany the photograph with a written message. The image itself served as a personal remembrance of her mother.
A Glimpse Into Khushi Kapoor’s Childhood
The throwback photograph offers fans a rare look at the Kapoor family away from the spotlight.
In the picture, Sridevi is seen wearing a black top with grey trousers, while Boney Kapoor is dressed in a dark shirt and black trousers. Young Khushi stands between them, holding her parents’ hands.
The simplicity of the photograph makes it particularly personal. Rather than focusing on Sridevi’s film career, the image captures her in the role of a mother sharing a family moment with her husband and daughter.
For fans who have followed Sridevi’s career and family over the years, such photographs offer an intimate reminder of the actress beyond her status as a screen icon.
Sridevi Remains One of Indian Cinema’s Most Remembered Stars
Sridevi began her career as a child artist and went on to become one of the most influential female stars in Indian cinema.
Her career crossed several Indian film industries, with performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi films. She eventually established herself as one of Hindi cinema’s leading actresses, known for her versatility across comedy, drama and emotionally demanding roles.
After taking a lengthy break from acting, Sridevi returned to Hindi cinema with English Vinglish in 2012. The film marked an acclaimed second chapter in her career and introduced her to a new generation of audiences.
Her final full-fledged film role came in Mom, released in 2017.
Sridevi died in Dubai in February 2018 at the age of 54. Her death brought an outpouring of tributes from across the Indian film industry and from audiences who had followed her work for decades.
Sridevi’s Legacy Continued Through Mom
Sridevi’s performance in Mom became an important part of her cinematic legacy.
For her portrayal in the film, she was posthumously awarded the National Film Award for Best Actress. The honour recognised a performance that arrived at the end of an extraordinary career spanning several decades.
Sridevi was also awarded the Padma Shri in 2013, one of India’s highest civilian honours, for her contribution to the arts.
Her body of work continues to be revisited by audiences, while her influence remains visible in conversations around Indian cinema and female-led performances.
Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor Followed Her Into Films
Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughters, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, have also pursued careers in the Hindi film industry.
Janhvi made her acting debut with Dhadak in 2018, a few months after Sridevi’s death. The film marked the beginning of her career as a leading actor in Hindi cinema.
Khushi later entered the industry with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies in 2023. She subsequently appeared in Loveyapa and Nadaaniyan, both released in 2025.
Their careers have naturally attracted attention because of their family background, but both sisters have continued to build their own filmographies.
Khushi Kapoor’s Upcoming Projects
Khushi Kapoor is also preparing for her next major project, Mom 2, an upcoming emotional thriller scheduled for a theatrical release in November 2026, according to the information available for the project.
The title has naturally drawn interest because of its connection to Sridevi’s final film, Mom. However, the upcoming project should be viewed on its own terms rather than simply as an extension of her mother’s legacy.
For Khushi, the journey into acting has unfolded several years after Sridevi’s passing, while memories of her mother continue to remain an important part of the family’s public story.
A Personal Tribute on a Significant Day
Khushi Kapoor’s decision to share a childhood photograph rather than a lengthy tribute keeps the remembrance understated.
The image brings together three members of the Kapoor family at a time when Khushi was still a child, preserving a personal moment with Sridevi and Boney Kapoor.
Years after Sridevi’s death, her work continues to be celebrated by audiences, while her daughters have established careers of their own in the film industry. On what would have been her 63rd birth anniversary, Khushi’s photograph offered a simple and deeply personal glimpse into the family life behind one of Indian cinema’s most recognisable stars.
