Janvhi Kapoor is a spitting image of her late mother, Sridevi who passed away last year on February 24, 2018. Even though Janhvi must have grown up watching her mother's movies, she could have seen her mom in a movie, after she has become a legit actress. Wondering how? Well, in the upcoming Bollywood film, Kalank, Madhuri Dixit Nene's role was earlier offered to Sridevi. Seeing Madhuri in her mother's role in Kalank, Janhvi has now commented, "I was excited to see her in Kalank from the audience point of view. I think the teaser of ‘Kalank’ and every character’s look in the film is looking really beautiful so, I am really excited to see that film."

Janvhi Kapoor had taken to her Instagram handle last year and sharing a picture of Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit, had talked about Kalank. She had captioned the picture as, "Abhishek Varman’s next film was very close to mom’s heart ...Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film."
On February 23, 2019, Janhvi took to her Instagram handle to share a heartfelt note for her mother’s first death anniversary. She posted a monochrome picture of her mother’s hand in her hand, along with it she wrote, “My heart will always be heavy. But I’ll always be smiling because it has you in it.” Check out the picture below:
Earlier in an interview with Vogue, Janhvi had talked about how her mother, Sridevi never wanted her to be part of the industry. She had stated, “She never wanted me to be an actress. She was more relaxed about Khushi getting into films. She thought I was naïve, that I wasn’t thick-skinned enough. She wanted us to live a more relaxed life. She loved what she did but you know it was intense." (Don't Miss: Rishi Kapoor Wishes His Uncle, Shashi Kapoor On His Birthday, Shares Pictures From An Iconic Moment)

Janhvi Kapoor had once revealed the moments when her mother used to narrate her stories from her career in the ‘80s and ‘90s and had said, “Those were my bedtime stories. Her whacked-out experiences. You know, in the ’80s and ’90s, when actors would do multiple shifts working simultaneously on different films? So she was doing three movies with the same director, who was also the actor. They were in Ooty and he decided to shoot songs for all three films together."
She had further added, "He’d do a scene, then cut and walk to the next location and the entire cast and crew would follow. At one point, he does a shot, starts walking and, suddenly, he’s behind a tree taking a piss, and the entire cast and crew is there, watching. He was just walking, and everyone assumed they were going to the next location! Mum was in all the films, and she’d figure out which film they were shooting for by his wigs, which would change for each role.”
Speaking about her debut film, Dhadak and how she wants to make her parents proud through her work, Janhvi was once quoted as saying, “I am so proud of my parents. I need to make them as proud of me. That has always been my motivation. I want mine to be ‘the debut’. But it comes from an honest and sincere place. Mum always told me, it’s not about the kind of role or movie you do; you need to make an impression- that’s an actor’s job. She never encouraged jealousy or frustration. We’re capable of being happy for others.” (Suggested Read: Deepika Padukone Wants Ranveer Singh To Come Home On Time, Reveals The Real Reason Behind It)
