Janhvi Kapoor On Why She Decided Not To Take Advice From Mom Sridevi: "Thought I Had An Unfair Advantage"

"I know she was dying to come on set and help me as a mother. I just didn't let her," said Janhvi
Actor Janhvi Kapoor on Thursday said she had asked her mother superstar Sridevi not to visit her on the set of her debut film Dhadak, a decision she described as "one of the biggest regrets" of her life. Janhvi, daughter of Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, made her foray into acting with 2018's Dhadak. The film released months after Sridevi died in Dubai at the age of 54. Hailed as one of the first female superstars of the Indian film industry, Sridevi worked across languages in films such as Moondru Mudichu, Pokkiri Raja, Sadma, Chaalbaaz, Lamhe, Chandni and English Vinglish.
Janhvi said she consciously wanted to be away from her mother as she had "an unfair advantage". "People were already saying 'You got your first film because you are Sridevi's daughter'. I decided I won't take any help from her. I thought I had an unfair advantage. It will be more unfair if I took her advice. So, I told her 'Please don't come on set, I have to work on my own'.
"Sometimes, I feel it was stupid of me. I took all that nonsense a bit too seriously. I regret it... I know she was dying to come on set and help me as a mother. I just didn't let her. One of the biggest regrets... I wish I had just said 'Mumma, please come, I have a shoot. I need you'," the 26-year-old said during a session on the second day of Agenda AajTak 2023.
