Following the tragic demise of their mother, the iconic actor Sridevi; Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor discovered comfort in the presence of their half-siblings, Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor. Despite the tough period they endured, the Kapoor sisters have consistently spoken openly about the steadfast support they received from Arjun and Anshula. In a recent episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8, they reiterated how their half-siblings remained a pillar of strength during the most challenging phase of their lives.

Khushi and Janhvi Kapoor are pleased to have more support

Sharing insights into their bond with Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor conveyed to Karan Johar, “It feels nice to have more people that I can call and ask stupid questions all the time. Besides Dad and Janhvi, they helped me hold everything together. They centre me in a certain way. I go to Anshula for certain things and I go to Arjun bhaiya for certain things.”

Swiftly, Janhvi Kapoor supplemented Khushi’s remarks by saying, “ More people to have our back which is always nice.”


Khushi Kapoor is Boney Kapoor's favorite among his kids

During the chat, The Archies actress also shared a personal insight, revealing with pride that she holds a unique place in her father, Boney Kapoor's heart among his four children—Janhvi, Arjun, Anshula, and herself. Describing a poignant moment, she recounted how her father was visibly moved and teary-eyed after witnessing her debut film for the first time, and this emotional state persisted for three days. Experiencing a surge of paternal pride, he sent her random messages expressing sentiments like, "You are just so good, beta." The actress found these messages endearing and sweet.

Fondly recalling their childhood, the Goodluck Jerry actress humorously shared an anecdote of Boney returning from work midday to play with Khushi, playfully announcing, "Now I am recharged, Now I'll go back to work," to which Janhvi humorously interjected with a cheerful, "Hi, I'm also here."
