Late Sridevi was the first female superstar the Hindi film industry ever had. Her movies, dance and fashion have always been iconic. The Padma Shri recipient passed away in 2018. She was married to Boney Kapoor and raised two daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. Janhvi in a recent interview shared how her mother was apprehensive about her daughter joining the film industry. She thought that Janhvi is naive and soft-hearted and from her experience, she knew that the industry can be very ruthless. Janhvi shared how her mother's first response was “don’t get into it”. Sridevi thought why would Janhvi want to join the film industry when she has worked so hard for decades to provide her with a comfortable life? She thought that Janhvi would get hurt and would be badly compared to her mother's stellar career. Janhvi shared that she knew the challenges but also was sure if she didn’t pursue acting she would regret it.

On the work front, Janhvi has ‘Bawaal’ lined up for her fans alongside Varun Dhawan. The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. She also has Boney Kapoor- produced ‘Mili’ in the works.
