The year
This year was all about best and worst experiences
The past couple of months have been full of emotions for Janhvi. Her debut movie 'Dhadak' opened to mostly positive reviews and she signed another big-budget movie 'Takht', which is produced by Dharma Productions. "This year brought me both the worst and the best experience of my life. Our family is now united and that is important to me," Janhvi said.
The grief
We are still in shock, Janhvi says
Janhvi was in conversation with Rumi Jaffery and Boney Kapoor when she said what happened was a huge tragedy. "We are still in shock, so we haven't been able to process it properly. I'm really thankful for all the love that we have received and I got a chance to work," she said and added she could never emulate Sridevi even if she wanted.
Boney's words
Separately, Boney hopes the family works on a movie together
In the session, Boney also spoke about his short stint at a theater. He, however, chose to stay behind the camera for brother Anil Kapoor. "I thought if both of us would set out to struggle as actors, who will handle the house?" he said. He revealed there was still an obsession to direct and maybe one day the entire family could work together.
