Janhvi Kapoor, the daughter of the legendary actress Sridevi, opens up about the impact of her mother's untimely death and the public's perception of their family. In a recent interview, Janhvi reflects on the challenges her mother faced, including the label of being a 'homewrecker' and the constant media scrutiny. She reveals that Sridevi never shared her struggles with her children, choosing to present a 'happy' facade to the world. This lack of openness contributed to the public's negative perception of their family dynamics.
Janhvi's words paint a picture of a mother who was dealing with a complex past, facing public criticism and personal challenges. The actress expresses her understanding of her mother's perspective now, acknowledging the different lens through which Sridevi viewed her life compared to Janhvi's childhood experiences. Sridevi's early start in the film industry and her determination to provide for her family are highlighted, but the cost of this success was her inability to share her vulnerabilities with her children.
The loss of Sridevi had a profound effect on Janhvi, leaving her dependent and struggling to make decisions independently. She admits to making poor choices and allowing people into her life who took advantage of her vulnerability. The pain of losing her mother is still fresh, and Janhvi misses the unique bond and influence Sridevi had on her life. The actress also mentions the impact of losing her father, Boney Kapoor, as he was the version of him that existed when Sridevi was around.
The interview delves into the love story between Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, which was initially met with anger and distance. Boney's confession of love was met with a six- to eight-month silence from Sridevi. However, their relationship grew stronger over time, especially during challenging periods like the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts and Sridevi's mother's illness. Their marriage in 1996 and the birth of their daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, further solidified their bond. Janhvi's reflection on her family's dynamics and the public's perception highlights the complex emotions and challenges that come with the loss of a loved one and the legacy of a famous figure.
