Sridevi Clarifies Her Comment On Jhanvi Kapoor's Marriage, Says 'Comment Was Misunderstood'

  • Sridevi Clarifies Her Comment On Jhanvi Kapoor's Marriage, Says 'Comment Was Misunderstood'

Actress Sridevi on Thursday said language won't be a barrier for her 19-year-old daughter Jhanvi when it comes to her acting debut.

 

Asked if she would let Jhanvi make her acting debut with a Tamil film, Sridevi told reporters: "I don't think language will be a barrier. If we come across a good script and if we feel it will be good for her, then why not?"

 

Jhanvi, 19, isn't even an actress yet but she's already a star - or, at least, she's had a taste of what it's like to be one.

 

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Sridevi revealed how Jhanvi reacted to rumours that she had followed Ranbir Kapoor, supposedly her celebrity crush, around at a showbiz party.

 

Sridevi told Mumbai Mirror that Jhanvi was upset by the reports and described how the conversation went: "'But mummy, I was with Gauri aunty' (Gauri Shinde, director of English Vinglish) Jhanvi protested and I told her, 'Welcome to my world. If you want to be a part of it, you have to be prepared for all this.'"

 

According to previous reports, Jhanvi Kapoor was overwhelmed after Ranbir greeted her in a Bollywood gathering - the 19-year-old is a regular at such parties and will reported be launched in a Karan Johar film.

 

Sridevi has been working since she was a child and had a flourishing career in the South by the time she appeared in her first Hindi film, 1975's Julie.

 

Having completed more than four decades in Bollywood, Sridevi knows the film industry functions along a set formula, which spares nobody. "Once we decided to be in this industry we have to be ready for everything. You have to be strong but hard working. No pain no gain," she told.

 

Earlier this week, Sridevi told mid-day that she would have preferred to see Jhanvi married rather than an actress but that she will always be by her side. "She wanted to do the film and initially, I wasn't in favour.

 

I don't think it's a bad industry. I am a creation of this world. But, as a parent, it would give me greater joy to see her married. But her happiness matters more, and if she does well as an actress, I will be a proud mother," said Sridevi.

 

Amid speculations that Jhanvi will be launched by Karan Johar, Sridevi added that it's too early to talk about her daughter's acting career.

 

Details of Jhanvi's debut haven't yet been made public but the 53-year-old actress did say, "Very tensed, this industry has given me so much but it's tough. She has to work hard."

 

She was in the city to promote the Tamil dubbed version of "Mom", slated for July 7 release.

 

Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
