Janhvi Kapoor Shares Touching Memories of Sridevi on Her Death Anniversary
On the solemn occasion of the death anniversary of the legendary actress Sridevi, her daughter Janhvi Kapoor has opened up with poignant anecdotes that illuminate the superstar's personal life and cinematic passions. In a throwback conversation from the promotions of her film 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,' Janhvi unveiled a lesser-known facet of Sridevi: her profound admiration for comedy and, specifically, her appreciation for Govinda's effortless humor.
Sridevi's Deep Admiration for Govinda's Comic Brilliance
During an interview with Pinkvilla, Janhvi Kapoor, alongside co-star Varun Dhawan, reflected on their favorite comedy performers. "I think we both have the same answer, Govinda and Mom (Sridevi)," Janhvi stated warmly. She elaborated that Sridevi was not just a fan but an ardent admirer of Govinda's unique style, which blended physical comedy with razor-sharp timing. "Mom was actually a huge Govinda fan. She used to love watching his comedy and how physical he was with it and timing," Janhvi recalled. According to her, whenever one of Govinda's films aired on television, Sridevi would eagerly sit down to watch, laughing wholeheartedly—a testament to how even a cinematic legend could relish being an audience member.
Cherished Memory of Watching 'Judwaa' with Sridevi
Janhvi also shared a cherished memory from her childhood, recounting the experience of watching the film 'Judwaa' in theaters with her parents. "I have memories of watching 'Judwaa' in the theater... I remember watching that film with Mom and Dad," she said. What stood out most was Sridevi's reaction to Varun Dhawan, who starred in the sequel 'Judwaa 2.' "Mom was actually awestruck by him... She was like, 'He's got so much energy. He is so fresh. Oh my god!' She was thrilled," Janhvi remembered fondly, highlighting how Sridevi deeply appreciated youthful exuberance and fresh talent on screen.
Valuable Advice from Sridevi to Varun Dhawan on Dual Roles
In the same interaction, Varun Dhawan revealed a significant moment when he later met Sridevi, who offered him invaluable guidance. She suggested he watch her cult classic film 'ChaalBaaz' to better understand the nuances of playing double roles—a genre she had mastered with unmatched flair and expertise. This advice underscores Sridevi's willingness to mentor emerging actors and share her vast knowledge of the craft.
Varun Dhawan was last seen in the war film 'Border 2,' which is noted as one of his highest-grossing releases to date. These revelations from Janhvi Kapoor not only honor Sridevi's legacy but also provide a glimpse into her humble and appreciative nature off-screen.
