WHATEVER HAPPENED WAS TOO HEAVY, STILL IN SHOCK: JANHVI ON SHRIDEVI’S DEATH

It has been a bittersweet year for Janhvi Kapoor. She lost her mother, veteran actress Sridevi, in a tragic case of accidental drowning in February. Yet, Janhvi's spirit didn't fail her and she returned to work on her film Dhadak, in a week. Her film released in July and did good business at the box office. In several interviews, the 21-year-old has said that how working on the film Dhadak saved her. At the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Janhvi spoke about how 2018 turned out for her. She also said that she would never be able to match up to her mother's caliber and nor did she intend to.

It's harder to say anything. When I say growth, I mean personal growth, I don't know about art. This year brought me both the worst and the best experience of my life. It's a little strange. Janhvi  was attending the festival with her father Boney Kapoor said "Our family is now united, so that is a very big thing for me. But, whatever happened was too heavy. We are still in shock, so we haven't been able to process it properly. I am really thankful for all the love that we have received and I got a chance to work, which is a big thing for more. I got a chance to make my parents proud, which is important for me."
