Today is Sridevi’s 3rd death anniversary. The actress passed away in 2018 allegedly due to accidental drowning in Dubai. While talking to Vogue in a past interview by Karan Johar, Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the last time she had met her mom. “I could always be the baby with her. When I’d wake up, the first thing I’d do was ask for her. I’d need her to put me to sleep sometimes and she literally had to feed me. The day before she left for the wedding, I had to shoot, but I couldn’t sleep, so I was like, “I need you to come and put me to sleep.” But she was packing, so by the time she came to me I was half asleep. But I could feel her patting my head," she said. Also Read - Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘time pass’ photoshoot is hot AF – view pics
She further added, "I’ve always been very bad at that. Khushi is very maternal with me. I am a full baby. She takes care of me. Now she comes and puts me to sleep sometimes." Also Read - Janhvi Kapoor is totally filmy and here’s proof — view pics
Janhvi had also shared an emotional tribute to her mom which read, “There is a gnawing hollowness in my chest that I know I’ll have to learn how to live with. Even with all this emptiness, I still feel your love. I feel you protecting me from sadness and pain. Every time I close my eyes, I only have good things to remember. I know it’s you doing that. You were a blessing in all our lives, we were blessed to have had you for as long as we did. But you weren’t meant for this world. You were too good, too pure, too full of love. That’s why he took you back. But at least we had you.” Also Read - It's Expensive! Janhvi Kapoor's Louis Vuitton bag comes at an exorbitant price
The note also read, “My friends always said I’m perpetually happy, and now I realise it was because of you. Nothing anyone said mattered, no problem was big enough, and no day could ever be dull because I had you. And you loved me. And I didn’t have to rely on anyone or anything because the only person I ever needed was you. You are a part of my soul. My best friend. My reason for everything. Your whole life you kept giving, and all I wanted was to do that for you too, Mumma. I want to make you so proud. Every morning, all that I would do was with the hope that one day you’d be as proud of me as I was of you. But I promise I’ll wake up every day still with that same thought. Because you’re here and I can feel you. You’re in me, Khushi and in Papa. The imprint you’ve left on us is so strong, it might just be enough to keep us going, but never enough to be fully whole. I love you, my everything.”
Sridevi passed away before she could see Janhvi make her debut as an actor in Dhadak.
