Sridevi is undoubtedly one of the most popular and revered names in the Indian film industry. The legendary actress stepped into the world of glitz and glam when she was just four years old. And the rest became history! She mesmerised the audience not just with her power-packed performances but also with her versatility. Unfortunately, the world of cinema lost a star in 2018, when Sridevi passed away.
Meanwhile, on August 13, 2024, Sridevi's husband and daughter, Khushi Kapoor shared heartfelt tributes for the late actress on her 61st birth anniversary. The late actress' doting husband took to his Instagram feed at midnight and shared a beautiful portrait of her along with a birthday wish. Boney Kapoor penned:

Sridevi left a void in the hearts of her daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, her husband, Boney, and millions of her fans when she left for her heavenly abode on February 24, 2018, due to accidental drowning. After her sudden demise, the late actress' daughters have, time and again, shared some tidbits about their beloved mother on public platforms.
While Janhvi Kapoor was promoting her now-released film, Mr & Mrs Mahi, she talked about her mother's superstitious side. During an interview with The Lallantop, the actress shared that her mother would do certain things on certain days of the week, which even included not cutting hair on Fridays. Revealing that she became religious after Sridevi's demise, Janvhi added:
"However, after she passed away, I started believing in them, maybe even too much. I don’t know if I was this religious and spiritually inclined when she was around. We all followed these practices because Mamma did. But following her demise, the relationship our culture and history have with Hinduism… I think I started taking refuge in our religion a lot more."
When Janhvi and Khushi appeared on Karan Johar's popular chat show, Koffee With Karan season 8, the latter shared how she stood strong after her mother's demise. Khushi shared that while it took her some time to come to terms she had lost her mother. However, her father, Boney Kapoor and sister's support kind of helped her process everything. She was quoted as saying:
"I think it took me a while when it happened to kind of accept it. I think it did suddenly hit me after a while. But I was a bit confused, I don't know. But I had Janhvi, and I had dad. So, they were just kind of there to help. I think I felt that I had to hold it together for everyone because I feel I've always been the strong one."
