The entire nation has been mourning the loss of late Bollywood actress Sridevi for over five years now. Touted as India’s first female superstar, she became a role model for many working women. She shared a very special bond with her elder daughter Janhvi Kapoor and even after her demise, the actress has kept her mother alive in her thoughts, social media posts and media interactions. The actress, who made her debut alongside Ishaan Khattar with Dhadak, had once opened up about her mother’s reaction to her dating life.
Talking about how her parents Boney Kapoor and Sridevi had a conservative mindset when it came to their daughters liking a boy and dating them, she had revealed that they had a very dramatic approach. She had told Filmfare, “Mom and dad were very dramatic about it (dating). (They would say) ‘when you like a guy, come to us and we’ll get you married’.” ALSO READ: Did You Know?

Ahead of her mother’s fifth death anniversary, the actress had posted an emotional message for her mumma with a throwback picture. She had written, “I still look for you everywhere mumma, still do everything I do hoping I’m making you proud.
