Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut in 2018 with Karan Johar's 'Dhadak'.

New Delhi: Actress Janhvi Kapoor might be touted as one of the most talented and promising young actors of Bollywood, but did you know her superstar mother, late actress Sridevi did not want her to enter showbiz? Talking about the same, Janhvi in an interview in 2018, after making her debut with Karan Johar’s ‘Dhadak’ opposite Ishaan Khatter said that Sridevi wanted her to live a more relaxed life.

Revealing that Sridevi was not keen on her becoming an actress, Janhvi told Vogue magazine in 2018, “She never wanted me to be an actress. She was more relaxed about Khushi getting into films. She thought I was naïve, that I wasn’t thick-skinned enough. She wanted us to live a more relaxed life. She loved what she did but you know it was intense”.
