It is often said that the bond shared between a mother and her daughter is precious till eternity.

Janhvi Kapoor’s Diwali celebration
Interacting with HT City, Janhvi shared in detail what significance Diwali holds in her life.
Janhvi said, “I have grown up in a household where traditions have been a big part of our family and my childhood. My mom (late legendary actor Sridevi) always enjoyed decorating the house on this day. We would have a Diwali pooja, and on Ganesh Chaturthi we would always meet as a family, Karva Chauth too is a big one. I guess our Indian heritage, traditions, and culture have always been a big part of our life.”
The 26-year-old even highlighted that her mother had always been a very religious person. “I guess my investment in all of these traditions makes me feel closer to mom now,” Janhvi said emotionally.
The young Bollywood star even mentioned how Sridevi always prepared delicious delicacies at home which they loved eating throughout the day. Janhvi further recalled when she was a child, she might have missed eating on time, but never missed out on carrying out religious activities. “I might have missed the dinner at times, but I have never missed the pooja,” Janhvi said.
Wrapping up the emotional conversation, Janhvi narrated how times have changed in the past 5 years. She said, “I have always seen mom wear a traditional Pattu saree. We would wear pattu pavadai for the pooja. We now go for dinner and fun at dadi’s house, eating pulao, rajma, the Kapoor khandaan delicacies.”
On the work front, Janhvi will next be seen on the big screen in the movie ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’ which will be released in April 2024. Dharma Productions produces the movie.
