After touring different cities to promote her debut film Dhadak, Janhvi Kapoor is all but ready for its grand release tomorrow. And to make the film even more special, the 21-year-old actor has penned down a heartfelt letter to her mum Sridevi in which she dedicates the film to her. The letter will be screened right at the start of the film, and will be accompanied by a picture of the mother and daughter duo.
It was because of her tight schedule shooting for Dhadak earlier this year that Janhvi couldn’t stay back in Dubai after her cousin Mohit Marwah’s wedding, where Sridevi tragically passed away at the age of 54.
This is the second time the young starlet has taken to sharing her feelings about her mum — on her birthday this year, Janhvi posted a letter on Instagram, beseeching everyone to love their parents, cherish them and stay devoted to them.
In a recent interview, Janhvi opened up about how when her mum saw a short trailer for Dhadak, her first reaction was that her mascara was smeared — such was Sridevi’s painstaking attention to detail. Janhvi also spoke about how her younger sister Khushi played a maternal role in helping her heal. Step-siblings Arjun and Anshula Kapoor have also rekindled their bond with the sisters and are a huge support system for them.
All the times we spotted Janhvi and Sridevi twinning:
All the proof you need that Sridevi and Janhvi have been twinning for years. Seriously, how cute are those denim dungarees?
The duo picked similar white and silver Manish Malhotra ensembles with matching earrings. Heck, they're even wearing their hair the same way.
The two shared a mutual love for all things classic... the white-shirt-and-blue-jeans combo included.
The mother and daughter are a vision in white, wearing outfits by their favourite designer Manish Malhotra (again).

How can a style connoisseur's wardrobe ever be complete without black?
Sridevi and Janhvi effortlessly pull off matching sleeveless white tops with contrasting trousers.
Sridevi was always up for experimenting, whether it meant skipping the traditional blouse and opting for a shirt to go with her lehenga. Clearly, Janhvi inherited that.

Prints play an important role, too. It's interesting to note how Janhvi's outfit that she's worn in Dhadak is similar to Sridevi's sari from English Vinglish.
You almost won't recognised Sridevi here, but you will most definitely recognise her style that definitely inspired Janhvi.
The mother and daughter match their opulent side yet again.
