Janhvi Kapoor on coping up with Sridevi’s sudden death: Dhadak gave me strength to go on

janhvi kapoor talks about sridevi's death

Janhvi Kapoor’s debut film Dhadak is all set to hit the silver screen. While the world awaits to see if Sridevi’s offspring is capable of taking forward her legacy, the young star is on her toes to promote her first Bollywood film. More than anyone else, it was late actor Sridevi who was excited about her daughter’s first step in the world of cinema. While many assumed that young Janhvi will take time to overcome the grief of her mother’s sudden demise, she stunned all by returning to the sets of Dhadak within a few weeks.

Talking about coping with the death of Sridevi, Janhvi said the shoot of Dhadak gave her courage. “It hasn’t been an easy experience. My work and my family have given me the strength to go on. If it wasn’t for coming back to the sets of Dhadak or being able to act, I think it would have been much tougher than what it is now. I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to work in the film and act. It saved me in many ways,” Janhvi told India Today. At the trailer launch of Dhadak, Janhvi had the entire Kapoor clan including Anil Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Harshvardhan Kapoor and others cheering for her.

In the interview, Janhvi also revealed Sridevi’s tip to her for being a good actor. She said, “My mom always used to say that in order to be a good actor, you need to be a good person. Because the camera is very smart. If you’re not a good person, if you’re fake, it shows. If your heart is not clean, it is visible.” With on-set photos of Janhvi already out, many have also found her to be a mirror image of Sridevi.

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Dhadak will see Ishan Khatter sharing screen space with Janhvi. The romantic drama, which is a remake of Marathi blockbuster Sairat, will release on July 20 this year.

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
