When Janhvi revealed if she felt pressurised to carry forward her mother's legacy

Previously, while attending the AajTak Agenda event, Janhvi Kapoor opened up about the pressures she dealt in terms of carrying forward the legacy of her mother and late actress, Sridevi. In her words:

“I don’t think anybody can do what she did, anybody is as versatile as she is. The level at which she would operate I don’t think anybody can cope with that leave me alone! But in today’s generation, the actresses get compared to her dance moves, every step, every performance. My sister and I would initially stress a lot and get very nervous, overburdened with the baggage. But then I began to understand that I’m being compared to Mumma so that’s the standard!”
