In the year 2012, during her interview with Times Of India, Sridevi was asked whether she would want her daughter Jahnvi Kapoor to be a Bollywood actor. Replying to this question, Mr India fame immediately said no. Replying further Sridevi said, “Not at all. I think people presume that because she is my daughter she has to become an actress. I feel sad when people think I’m an aggressive mother pushing her daughter to join films or lose weight. Janhvi is health-conscious, like me. I’m extremely careful about my diet and workout, and she follows me. In fact, I play tennis with both my daughters twice a week. Recently, one of the ladies at the health club told her, ‘How sad to see you here working out so hard! Your mother must make you come here and do all these things, no?’ Jahnavi was so angry. She came home and told me, ‘Mum, it’s my wish that I am coming here. I am doing it to be healthy and not because you are pushing me to become slim’.”
In the same interview, the MOM actress also added that she wished to get Janhvi married soon and have her settle down. “I don’t want her to become an actress. People have started presuming and even naming some hero’s son as her co-star and we had a big laugh about it. Mera bas chale toh I would get her married soon and settle her down,” said Sridevi.
Hope the iconic actress is happy to see her daughter Janhvi Kapoor turn out to be a magnificent actress just like her!
