Sridevi wanted Khushi, not Janhvi to be in films

Janhvi Kapoor is all set to make her Bollywood debut. But late actor Sridevi never wanted her elder daughter to make a career in the glamour world.

Talking to a magazine for an interview, Janhvi said, “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.”

She also revealed that Sridevi was not really happy when she sent her to Los Angeles for her acting course.

Before her death, Sridevi had seen 25 minutes footage of Janhvi’s film ‘Dhadak’ and the first thing she told Janhvi was the things she needed to improve.

“Mom felt the mascara was smudged and it really bothered her. The second half has to be different, she told me. ‘You can’t wear anything on your face.’ That’s all she told me but she was happy,” Janhvi said.

Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for her Bollywood debut ‘Dhadak’. She stars with Ishaan Khatter in the film that is the remake of the Marathi superhit film ‘Sairat’.

The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on July 20.
