Janhvi Kapoor on Sridevi's Demise
Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai. Her sudden and tragic demise shocked the entertainment industry and her fans worldwide. She was attending a family wedding in Dubai when she accidentally drowned in her hotel bathtub. The news of her untimely death sent waves of disbelief and sorrow throughout the film fraternity and among her extensive fan base.
Recalling the moment, she told Karan Johar, "When I got the call, I was in my room and I could hear wailing from Khushi's room. I think I barged into her room, hauling and crying but what I do remember is she looked at me and the minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me and I've never seen her cry about it since."
Khushi added, "I felt like I had to hold it together for everyone because I feel like I've always been the strong one."
Janhvi Kapoor on Shikhar Pahariya
Janhvi Kapoor spoke highly of Shikhar Pahariya, acknowledging his consistent support for not just herself but also for her sister Khushi and their family. "I will say this, I think not just for me, but for her (pointing to Khushi) and for dad (Boney Kapoor) and for everyone in our family, he's been there from the start. As a friend, in whatever capacity and not in a way that made me feel like he's expecting anything or he's a pushover, any of those things. He was just there in a very selfless, dignified way and in a way that I have not seen many men capable of being for another human being," Janhvi Kapoor said.

Why Janhvi Kapoor don't date someone in acting profession?
Addressing this, Janhvi shared, "I want someone to be obsessed with me. The thing is you need someone to be okay with your... there needs to be a balance. You need someone who is okay to let you have your moment also but I find with actors that they get very competitive and they get very weird. I've said never (to dating actors)."
"There is always tension when there is an actor. I can't deal with that tension because I like to be undyingly devoted and I expect that devotion and I think when you are in the same profession, it's difficult, specifically this (acting) profession," she added.
