Chiming in, Janhvi shared, "The thing that I remember when I got the call I was in my room. I could hear wailing from Khushi's room. I think I barged into her room howling and crying. But what I do remember, Karan, is the minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me. I have never seen her cry about it since."

The Archies actress shared that she sensed the need to keep things together for everyone because she sees herself as the one who is perceived as strong.


The Dhadak actress also revealed during the chat that, despite her tendency to be more hyper-sensitive and Khushi's inclination to be more resilient, the dynamics between them have shifted significantly after the passing of their mother. Now, they find themselves playing the roles of both a mother and a baby to each other, depending on the situation.
