I feel you can tell in the scenes and work that they have done together that they had a very special energy. She would always tell me to watch his performances. And she never really spoke about any other actor ever, except Chachu (Anil Kapoor). With him, she would tell me you need to look at his work ethic, and you need to look at how hard he works. She would always tell me to look at his comic timing, especially after No Entry that was unmatched.”

“She (Sridevi) told me once, that's the thing, you think it is because he is your uncle, which is great, cute, and sweet, but it is actually because he has this thing as an actor where he can fun, Masti, Chulbul, and intense. He has this one thing that most actors don't is that he can make you feel bad for him. He has a vulnerability which not many people have,” Janhvi further mentioned.
