"She never wanted me to be an actress"
Opening up to Karan, Janhvi said that Sridevi was extremely nervous about her debut film. "She never wanted me to be an actress. She was more relaxed about Khushi getting into films. She thought I was naive, that I wasn't thick-skinned enough. She wanted us to live a more relaxed life. She loved what she did but you know it was intense," Janhvi said.

Janhvi reminisced her last moments with her mother. She said, "The day before she left for the wedding, I had to shoot, but I couldn't sleep, so I was like, 'I need you to come and put me to sleep.' But she was packing, so by the time she came to me I was half asleep. But I could feel her patting my head."
