Janhvi Kapoor to reveal about when dad caught her sneaking boy out of her window!

Janhvi Kapoor to reveal about when dad caught her sneaking boy out of her window!

Janhvi Kapoor, an actress, recently revealed a comical account of how her father, Boney Kapoor, caught her smuggling a kid out of her room window. The actress recalled about how her father courted Sridevi and talked about a common habit of his.

Janhvi Kapoor spoke about an incident on a media channel where she tried to be sneaky but was eventually caught on video by her father. She spoke about passing by her previous house in Mumbai, which was the first property her late mother Sridevi had bought there.

Janhvi Kapoor claims that she once encouraged someone to jump out of the front door because she didn't want them to leave after breaking in through the front entry. She suggested they head out in her massive Lexus that was parked close by. The person did what she said, but her father confronted her after seeing the entire event on CCTV and asking what she was doing. He installed a grill outside her room's window to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Janhvi also shared an amusing anecdote: when she urged the youngster to jump out the window onto the car, she didn't realize her driver was inside. She refused to give the boy's identity.

She remembered her father, Boney Kapoor, telling her a story about how far he went to win her mother, Sridevi. She'd laughed and given him the impression that he'd won her over when Boney had gone to meet Sridevi and leaped out of a hotel window. When asked if Boney often shared this anecdote, Janhvi answered that he likes to reflect every night after 10 pm, especially when music stations start playing old tunes. He often glances at her and says, "You know, me and your mom...," thus it's turned into his favorite pastime.

Mr. India reboot on the card with fresh cast!



Boney Kapoor has announced a Mr. India reboot.

The producer initially wanted to make a sequel to the iconic hit with the original cast but had to rethink things after Sridevi’s death. Boney’s new plan is to first create a modern reboot that centres on a guy who gets his hands on a device that makes him invisible, and then turn it into a franchise. While most people expect his son Arjun to play the new lead, it seems that Boney might also cast Aftab Shivdasani to have a link to the first film. That’s a great idea!

In a media chat, Boney Kapoor revealed, “I wouldn't say that I motivated Janhvi. I encouraged her to let her do what she wants. Why curb someone's natural instincts? Like for one, I didn't know until Salman (Khan) told me that Arjun has it in him to become an actor. On the other hand, my eldest child, Anshula is extremely academically inclined. And Khushi first wanted to become a model- but has now shifted her focus to becoming an actress.”

If I don't do things for my family, who else will? It makes me feel special that he is still deeply in love with me. And I am deeply in love with him too. With every passing day, my love for him grows. In fact, calling it love is not enough anymore. His love for me has remained unchanged over the years. He is an honest person and emotional. He can always make me laugh. He is always there for me. We are always there for each other."

Sridevi also spoke about her daughters Jhanvi and Khushi. When questioned what advice she would give Jhanvi, who is all set to make a grand debut in Bollywood, Sridevi told, "Give everything your best and work your hardest. No pain, no gain. I always tell her perform from your heart, not just your mind. It is important to be a good and honest human being to be a good actor.
