The death of India’s legendary superstar Sridevi left a vacuum that can never be filled in the time to come. While fans around the world are still trying to cope with this tragic reality, it is a heartbreaking moment for Sri’s husband Boney Kapoor and daughters Jhanvi and Khushi Kapoor.
What’s even more heart-rending is the fact that it’s Jhanvi’s first birthday without her mother. The beautiful lady turns 21 today and is on the cusp of making her debut in B-town.
Today is Jhanvi’s birthday and she finally broke her silence on her mother’s death, by sharing a post that will touch your soul and leave you shaking.
Taking to her Instagram she expressed her emotions and wrote, “On my birthday, the only thing I ask of all of you is that you love your parents. Cherish them and devote yourself to making them feel that love. They have made you. And I ask that you remember my mother fondly, pray for her soul to rest in peace. Let the love and adulation you’ll showered on her continue and please know that the biggest part of my mother was the love she shared with papa. And their love is immortal because there was nothing like it in the whole world. Nothing as joyful and pure and no two people as devoted to one another as they were. Please respect that, because it hurts to think anyone would ever try to tarnish it. Preserving the sanctity of what they had would mean the world not only to my mother but also to a man who’s entire being revolved around her, and her two children who are all that remains of their love. Me and Khushi have lost our mother but papa has lost his “Jaan”. She was so much more than just an actor or a mother or a wife. She was the ultimate and the best in all these roles. It mattered a great deal to her to give love and to get love. For people to be good and gracious and kind. She didn’t understand frustration or malice or jealousy. So let’s be that. Let’s be full of only good and give only love. That would make her happy, to know that even in death, she gave you all something. The courage and inspiration to fill yourselves with nothing but love and rid yourselves of bitterness in any way and form. That’s what she stood for. Dignity, strength, and innocence.”

“Thank you for the love and support everyone has shown us in the past couple of days. It’s given us hope and strength and we can’t thank you all enough.”

Jhanvi’s post has moved tons of her fans and we truly respect her thoughts. One can see how she is concerned about her dad who has lost the love of his life and a friend. As she says, respect your parents and make them feel special, it’s needed. For we don’t know how long they will be with us.
We have lost our ‘Chandni’ and the screen will never light up again the way it did when she smiled. Sriji you will be missed forever!
