In a touching gesture, Janhvi Kapoor chose a saree from Sridevi’s collection as she accompanied father Boney Kapoor and sister Khushi Kapoor to accept National Film Award for Best Actress that was conferred on her mother posthumously. Sridevi won the award for revenge drama, MOM; the actor died in February this year.
Manish Malhotra, Sridevi’s close friend and favourite fashion designer, wrote on Instagram, “The very pretty Janhvi Kapoor as she goes to receive Sridevi ma’am’s much deserved National Award for her fabulous performance in MOM.
An actress and a human being and the friend that we all miss every day of our life’s. Janhvi Kapoor in her mom’s personal saree for this emotional and precious moment.”
Janhvi looked like a mirror image of her late mother in the pink-and-white Kanjivaram silk saree. Khushi chose to wear a half-saree, better know as pattu pavadai, for the Vigyan Bhavan event.
