‘Koffee With Karan’ S7 Ep 2: Janhvi Kapoor Talks About Sridevi’s Death And How Arjun, Anshula Kapoor Helped Her Through It
A year ago, I lost my nani to cancer. I was extremely close to her and she moulded to be the person and the woman that I grew into. And as I shared a room with her, I was one of her primary caregivers during her battle with cancer until she passed away. I feel like we don’t completely acknowledge the kind of trauma and pain losing a close loved one can put you through. Many times, it is undermined. Hence, I resonated with Janhvi Kapoor in todays episode of Koffee With Karan where she appeared with her BFF, Sara Ali Khan. Janhvi opened up about Boney Kapoor being an overprotective father and how she dealt with the sudden and tragic demise of her mother, Sridevi.

Janhvi Kapoor hilariously talked about how Boney Kapoor has always been an overprotective father and always calls her multiple times. Most desi daughters can relate to this! She talked about the lockdown saying that the latter half of it was great for her. Janhvi said that she felt great not being seen for a while after being on a “hamster-wheel” before that and it was her only semblance on normalcy at the time. She said that the lockdown gave her a chance to see what her dynamic with her father, Boney Kapoor and sister Khushi Kapoor would be like after losing Sridevi as the family was busy distracting themselves from their tragic loss before. She also added that she believes they became best friends over the lockdown.

When Karan Johar brought up Janhvi’s family and her mother, I feel like there was some sadness on her face, understandably. She spoke about how she feels that nothing can make up for the loss she has endured due to Sridevi’s passing. She also added that she feels as though while her bond and dynamic with her family has changed, she is still very close to them.

Janhvi then expressed her gratefulness for her brother Arjun Kapoor and sister Anshula Kapoor during such a tough time in her life. She said, “it would have been an impossibility to have gotten through that without Anshula didi and Arjun bhaiya.” She further added that she is a different person now than she was before her mother’s passing. Janhvi said that she feels as though the person and life she had back then seemed like a fantasy.
When asked if the breaking of this fantasy caused her to create her own reality, Janhvi said that the reality she is living in currently is more anchored. She again thanked Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor for the security they provided her. Janhvi also stated that she thinks that she has “retained and preserved whatever she’s instilled and added that it almost hurts her to think of the person she used to be before Sridevi’s demise. She said that she hasn’t completely dealt with what happened but is currently happier than she has been in a long time.
