Legendary actress Sridevi’s death in February came as
a grave shock to Bollywood and millions of her fans across the globe. Today
marks the 55th birth anniversary of the actress and her daughter Janhvi
Kapoor, who recently made her Bollywood debut with the Shashank Khaitan
directorial Dhadak, remembers a special acting mantra she received from her
mother.
Remembering her mother’s words, the 21-year-old actress
told a leading newspaper, “You have to create an
impact with whatever little you get. If one can leave an impression [in such
parts] on audiences and touch their hearts, then there's nothing like it.
That's what mum [Sridevi] always used to say. She would tell me, ‘it's never
about the kind of role you get... you need to create magic with whatever is
given to you’. I hope that I can get to that [stage] one day.”
A while ago, we told you
that BAP (Bollywood Art Project), which works to celebrate the work of maestros
from the Indian film industry, will be unveiling Sridevi’s fresco today to
mark her 55th birth anniversary. The mural is part of the renowned
artist Ranjit Dahiya’s Bollywood Art Project.
Janhvi even posted an
adorable throwback childhood picture remembering her mother where we can see baby Janhvi in Sridevi’s arms while
dad, Boney Kapoor stands behind them.
Yesterday, we told
you that the I&B Ministry will also be paying a special tribute to the late
actress on her birth anniversary in the form of a special screening of the
actress’s notable works like Mom, Lamhe, Mr India and Chandni for the span of
two days.
