Throwback to when the late Shridevi teased 15 year old Janhvi Kapoor about her broken Hindi - read here

Janhvi Kapoor is the eldest daughter of the late actress, Sridevi, and filmmaker Boney Kapoor. She made her acting debut with the 2018 Shashank Khaitan film 'Dhadak', alongside Ishaan Khatter. Since then she has starred in various movies, turning herself into a promising young talent in the Indian film industry. This 2012 throwback piece is from a time when Janhvi was only 15 and had been invited to a launch event of the People magazine issue featuring her, her mother Sridevi, and her younger sister Khushi on the cover.At the launch event, the media asked Janhvi to say a few words in Hindi. Since she wasn't very comfortable speaking Hindi, she struggled and fumbled a bit in her response, "Hindi mein? I don't... Ji, mujhe abhi pata nahi.

Main abhi school mein padhai kar rahi hu aur…” she said. Shridevi took the mic from her hand and teased her daughter. She told the media not to address Janhvi in Hindi. The late actress joked that Janhvi would struggle and fumble and even hilariously imitated her daughter’s broken Hindi, making everyone laugh. Janhvi joined in on the laughs and even apologized for not being able to speak Hindi. She has acted in movies like Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Roohi, and Lust Stories, speaking Hindi fluently.

Her next movie is Good Luck Jerry.Sridevi passed away in 2018, just months before Janhvi's acting debut. Janhvi often faces comparisons to her famous mom. She told the Hindustan Times she wasn't too "excited" about it.She had mentioned, "I think it's just genetics and biology. I am her daughter, so zaahir hai ki main unki tarah hi dikhungi. But my mum holds such a strong space in people's hearts and had a very personal connection. I hope I can please her fans also in some way, in a bid to show gratitude for all the love she got. I hope I'm given an opportunity to create my own identity. I don't think anyone can be like her. What she had to offer to films and to people's lives was greater than what any artist could.

"Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi Kapoor has multiple interesting movies lined up for her. They include Devara, which also stars Junior NTR, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, Ulaijh, and RC16.
