During the shoot of her debut film, Dhadak, Janhvi consciously distanced herself from her iconic mother, fearing that people would believe her success was solely due to her lineage. She admitted that when she was doing her first film, she was so conscious that she wanted to stay aloof from her mother Sridevi because people and the general audience had a thought that she got her first film because she is Sridevi’s daughter.

In an attempt to establish her own identity, Janhvi went to great lengths to avoid seeking advice or assistance from Sridevi. She wanted to prove that she could make it on her merit, without relying on her famous mother’s guidance. Janhvi even discouraged Sridevi from coming to the sets and offering her invaluable insights, thinking it would be an additional advantage that she did not deserve.

Reflecting on her decision, Janhvi now acknowledged the gravity of her actions, calling it ‘very silly.’ She realized that she denied her mother the opportunity to be by her side during a crucial phase of her life. She revealed that she took people very seriously, and she regrets now knowing the fact that her mother was dying to be on the set with her, to help her as a mother and she robbed Sridevi of that happiness. Janhvi further went on to say that it’s one of her biggest regrets because sometimes she feels like if she just said ‘Mumma, I have a shoot, please come quickly.’ Maybe she would have been there.”

If people want to do a moral debate on whether Janhvi Kapoor being Sridevi’s daughter is right or wrong, you can’t, because that’s the truth.”
