Sridevi married Boney Kapoor in 1996 At that time he was already married to Mona Shourie and had two children Arjun and Anshula Kapoor. After ending his first marriage with Mona, Kapoor married Sridevi and had two daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. Although Sridevi passed away too soon, her fans still miss her terribly, but it was devastating for her family, especially her daughters. In a recent interview, Janhvi spoke about losing her mother and how she understands it better now. Janhvi said in an interview with Raj Shamani, “I try to escape from my mind, from the turmoil inside me. The feelings that I haven’t dealt with, the traumas that I haven’t dealt with. The biggest trauma was losing my mother, especially the way I did, in front of the whole world and facing that journey.”
Looking back on Sridevi’s memories, Janhvi spoke about how the loss affected her entire family dynamic. “I can’t get over the pain of losing my mom. There’s no one like her. I miss how fun she was. I miss who made me, my sister and my dad. I didn’t lose a parent, I lost my dad that day, the version of him that he was around.”When asked what it would be like to talk to her mother today, Janhvi replied with uncertainty. “I don’t think he would have been able to meet me now. The world has changed. I’ve seen things. I have my own opinions, which are not what he had. I don’t know what that interaction would have been like.”He added that if he could say one thing to his mother, it would be with understanding and regret. “I get it now. And I’m sorry I didn’t get it before. He was dealing with things through a completely different lens than I saw when I was a kid: professional, financial and otherwise. He started working at the age of four, but he never shared his struggle story with us. He only shared happy stories.’Janhvi also recalled watching an old interview with Sridevi where the late star spoke openly about her weaknesses and her desire to be taken seriously in Hindi. film industry. Reflecting on this, Janhvi said, “I have seen that journey. People were not very kind when she was around. They called her a home wrecker and all that cruel stuff. He acted on his mind and made him feel a certain way, but history is kind to the people of the past.’In the same way, he had once been dependent on his mother, and he also reflected on how her death had forced him to reach out from one day to the next. “I was a very dependent daughter. I didn’t make my own decisions. I would depend on him for that. What should I wear? What should I think? What’s wrong and right? Everything. So all of a sudden, making your own decisions with the world spitting on you, putting accusations on family dynamics…”Janhvi admitted that this phase led her to make some mistakes. “I made bad decisions and let some people into my life who had no business being close to me and taking advantage of me the way they did. I wasn’t putting myself in a safe place. I was constantly putting my mental and physical safety at risk.”
