New Delhi:

Janhvi Kapoor doesn’t need an occasion to remember her late mother Sridevi. The Dhadak actress, who frequently posts pictures of her mother on her Instagram, shared a million-dollar photograph of herself with Sridevi on her profile to mark the Mr India actress’ 56th birth anniversary. Janhvi’s post is a throwback picture of the mother-daughter duo posing together. Janhvi summed up the entire essence of the picture in these four words: “I love you, Mamma.” Sridevi, who was often addressed as Bollywood’s “first female superstar,” died in Dubai in 2018, where she attended a family wedding.
