Bollywood stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, who have been busy promoting their new film Mr and Mrs Mahi, were the guests on the latest episode of the Netflix show, ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show where Janhvi claimed: My mom tried to keep me from acting.” Keep on reading to find out why.


Janhvi said the late actor Sridevi always tried to shield her away from choosing acting as a career. Instead, she wanted her to become a doctor. She recalled, "Wo bohot saalon se kaushish karti rahi ki mujhe is disha se dur rakhe. Main dress up karti thi, or make-up karti this, toh wo mujhe bolti thi – ‘pata hain mera sapna kya hain? Ki aap ekdin doctor bano (For many years, my mom tried to keep me from acting. Whenever I played dress-up in front of the mirror, she would tell me that her dream was to see me as a doctor).”



Janhvi added that she was determined to become an actor since childhood and would tell her mother that to fulfill her dream, she would essay the character of a doctor in at least one of her films. Sridevi died on February 24, 2018; she was 54.
