Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor Reflect on Their Mother's Tragic Passing in Emotional Interview

A Heartfelt Memory of Loss

Mumbai: Sisters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor opened up about the moment they received the heartbreaking news of their mother Sridevi's death during their appearance on season 8 of the well-known talk show 'Koffee With Karan'.

Janhvi recounted to host Karan Johar that she learned of her mother's passing through a phone call while she was at home.

After receiving the call, she hurried to Khushi, who was already in tears. However, upon seeing Janhvi, Khushi immediately stopped crying and offered her sister comfort.

The Peddi actress recalled, 'When I got the call, I was in my room, and I could hear Khushi crying from her room. I rushed in, sobbing, but the moment she saw me, she stopped crying. She sat beside me and started to comfort me, and I haven't seen her cry about it since.'

Khushi shared that she felt the need to be strong for their family during such a challenging time.

'I felt like I had to hold it together for everyone because I’ve always been the strong one,' Khushi expressed.

During the discussion, Janhvi also noted that Khushi shares some traits with their late mother Sridevi, particularly in their work ethic.

'She is a very quiet person, which is something she has in common with Mumma. But when the camera is on, she just shines,' Janhvi remarked.

Sridevi tragically passed away in February 2018 while in Dubai, attending the wedding of her husband Boney Kapoor's nephew, Arjun Marwah. The cause of her death was ruled as accidental drowning.
