Mumbai: Janhvi Kapoor’s latest release ‘Param Sundari’, which also stars Sidharth Malhotra, seems to be doing good business.
In a recent interview with Vogue, Janhvi opened up about how being a star kid affected their normal life.
She also recollected how she couldn’t even privately grieve mom Sridevi’s death.
“I would be hounded by the media and if I smiled to promote my film, I was criticised for seeming too okay. If I was quiet, then I was perceived as too cold. It’s unfathomable that it could become a meme. Imagine losing your mother, and its entertainment for half the nation,” Janhvi said.
“I don’t think anyone can understand what we went through. The loss is one thing, but the damage that came after really made me cynical about human nature. My sister and I have never let them see the cracks, and because of this, people have felt they can throw mud at us, that we are not really human. That took empathy and sympathy completely out of the question,” the actress rued.
Bollywood legend Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018 in Dubai, due to accidental drowning.
Helmed by Tushar Jalota, ‘Param Sundari’ has received mixed reviews and minted around Rs 32.68 crore since its release on August 29.
Janhvi will next be seen in Karan Johar-backed ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’, which also stars Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul in key roles.
The film is slated to release on October 2.
