Mumbai, November 15, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actress Janhvi Kapoor has recalled the heartbreaking moment she learned about the death of her mother, legendary actor Sridevi, revealing how her younger sister Khushi Kapoor comforted her despite facing the same devastating loss.
The sisters had opened up about the experience during their appearance on the eighth season of filmmaker Karan Johar’s popular chat show Koffee With Karan.
Janhvi told Johar that she was in her room when she received the phone call informing her of their mother’s passing. Hearing cries from Khushi’s room, she rushed to her younger sister, who was already grieving.
Recalling the moment, Janhvi said Khushi stopped crying as soon as she saw her elder sister and instead sat beside her to offer comfort.
She added that she had never seen Khushi cry about the loss since that moment.
Khushi explained that she felt responsible for holding the family together during the difficult period, describing herself as someone who had always tried to remain strong for others.
During the conversation, Janhvi also spoke about the similarities between Khushi and Sridevi, particularly their approach to work. She said Khushi is a quiet person, much like their mother, but comes alive in front of the camera.
Sridevi died in February 2018 in Dubai, where she had travelled to attend the wedding of her husband Boney Kapoor’s nephew, Arjun Marwah. Her death was determined to have been caused by accidental drowning.
