Actor Janhvi Kapoor has recalled how her late mother, Sridevi, was initially unsure about her decision to enter films. She jokingly suggested that her mother began seeing her potential as an actor after she underwent a nose job, according to Hindustan Times.
Speaking to her maternal cousin and actor Maheswari on “Galatta Plus Tamil”, Janhvi reflected on the conversation in which she first told Sridevi about her acting ambitions.
Maheswari recalled that Sridevi had reservations because of the demands of the film industry. She said Sridevi believed acting required hard work, dedication and considerable mental strength.
“Jaanu wants to be in films, but I’m not very keen because it’s a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, and you have to be really strong to get in there,” Maheswari recalled Sridevi saying.
Janhvi then shared a humorous explanation for what might have changed her mother’s opinion. Laughing, she said Sridevi had seemed uncertain before her nose job but appeared to recognise her potential afterwards.
“After I did my nose, she’s like, ‘Yeah, there’s potential’,” Janhvi recalled.
Her remarks offered a glimpse into Sridevi’s initial concerns about her daughter entering an industry she knew demanded considerable commitment.
