Janhvi Kapoor said that since Sridevi’s passing, she has become more religious: “I began seeking solace in our faith.”

Janhvi Kapoor is occupied with the promotion of Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, her upcoming film. During an interview with The Lallantop, the actor revealed how her perspective on life was altered and her religious beliefs strengthened by the unexpected death of her mother, the actor Sridevi.

“She believed in things like “certain activities should be done on specific dates,” “don’t cut hair on Fridays as it will hinder Goddess Lakshmi from entering the house,” and “avoid wearing black on Fridays,” Janhvi stated about Sridevi during the interview. I’ve never held such superstitions to be true.

But when Mom died, I began to believe in them—perhaps a little too much. I’m not sure if I was as spiritually and religiously inclined while she was here. We all adhered to these customs [during her lifetime] because Mamma did. However, after her death, the connection our history and culture had with Hinduism… I believe that I began turning more and more to our faith for solace.

“She used to call him by name, Narayan Narayan Narayan,” she went on. When she was employed, she used to celebrate her birthday by going to the temple annually. Following her marriage, she no longer attended. I made the decision to go to the temple on her birthday each year after she passed away. When I initially tried it, I experienced extreme emotion but also had a profound sense of mental calm.

Sridevi’s first child with director Boney Kapoor is named Janhvi. Khushi Kapoor is her sister as well. Due to an unintentional drowning in a Dubai hotel in 2018, Sridevi passed away. Dhadak, Janhvi’s feature debut, hit theatres in July 2019. In the May 31 film Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, which opens in cinemas, she will play a cricket player.

Sridevi passed away in 2018, leaving a void in the lives of her family and millions of fans worldwide.

In a heartfelt interview, Janhvi shared, “Since mom’s passing, I feel I’ve become more religious. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but I began seeking solace in our faith. It gave me strength and a sense of peace during the darkest time of my life.”

The young actress revealed that following Sridevi’s death, she found herself drawn towards performing rituals and exploring her family’s traditional beliefs more deeply. “There’s a comfort in praying, in lighting a diya, or simply sitting quietly in front of the idols. It makes me feel connected to mom in some way,” Janhvi added.

The journey wasn’t just about finding peace but also gaining clarity and emotional resilience. Janhvi said that her faith taught her acceptance and helped her channel her grief into positive actions, including her dedication to her work.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
