Janhvi Kapoor talks about taking her mother Sridevi’s legacy forward
In a conversation with Film Companion, Janhvi Kapoor said that her love for movies is immense and that at a time when she felt like she had nothing, it’s her love for movies that has kept her alive. “It's what I live for. It’s what I live, eat, breathe, and think of every second of the day. Just my love for films, performing, for being in front of the camera. That is the only time where I am at peace,” said Janhvi.
She explained that she is a wreck, and isn’t a pleasant person to be around when she is not shooting. She further talked about her mom Sridevi's legacy and said, “There's also a drive that I will not abandon my mom's legacy. Like I can't. I don't want to, I need to take it forward. I will die trying. It means the most to me.”
Janhvi said that she needs to work day and night, tirelessly so that she justifies the fact that she got this opportunity easily, and because she feels like maybe she has taken someone else’s spot. The Mili actress said that it is only right for her to overcompensate to justify this.
Janhvi Kapoor on devoting her life to acting
Another reason she said, is that she is just very obsessed with movies and acting. It is all she has ever known, Kapoor mentioned. She added that every family discussion, holiday, moments she spent with her parents, have revolved around movies. She said that the audience has given her parents- Boney Kapoor, and Sridevi- so much love and acceptance and that her livelihood is based on that. The least she feels she can do is give it her all and devote herself to this craft, said the actress.
Janhvi said that people say that she has inherited the privilege, and fame that she has. While that is true, she added that she has also inherited this devotion to acting, and love for cinema, from her parents.
