Janhvi Kapoor the daughter of veteran actor Sridevi is all set to keep her first step on the silver screen with her debutant romance thriller ‘Dhadak’ with Ishaan Khattar. The unfortunate thing for her is that she is unable to show her first acting work to her mother. But recently, in an interview with the Indian Express, she revealed some facts about her acting career and her mother. Her view towards Nepotism was also the crux of the conversation.

While acknowledging that what attention she is getting now is because of he mother who added value to her life she said: “It is. But I think the aim is to remain positive and to remember that the only reason I am getting this kind of attention is firstly because of my mom and now obviously because of Dhadak.”

On a question where she was asked that what was Sridevi’s reaction when the daughter breaks the news of her choice to be an actress, she answered: “There were a lot of sounds. There was a lot of ‘Aiyyo!’, but I think she knew that the bug had bitten this poor girl.”

“Did it worry your mother that you were getting it easy?”: she was asked and she expressed that her mother was worried that people no matter what the condition is, will compare Janhvi with her mother. She said:  “I think there is a misconception. Maybe I got the opportunity easily. I recognize that. But acting isn’t easy. She was worried about the comparisons a lot more because she kept saying, ‘I have done 400 films and this is your first but they will compare you to my 400th film.’ So, she was very scared about that, But I was like, ‘But I love acting, Mumma. I will work hard. I promise.’ I had a very naive, idealistic outlook on all of this but now I am beginning to understand that some people do pay heed to all these comparisons.”

She also revealed that what Sridevi planned for her career and surprisingly we come to know that Sridevi wants her daughter to be a doctor. In her words, she said: “When I was a kid, she really wanted me to become a doctor. I don’t know why, and I was like, ‘I am sorry mom, but I don’t have the intellect to become a doctor.’”

Janhvi also expressed that she doesn't  want to be a gainer without any pain and wants to achieve something by herself. Though her mother was in oppose, her father supported her very well as she elaborated: “He was excited that I chose to prove myself or do something with my life. Mom was like, ‘I have worked this hard because I wanted my children to have it easy so that they have a relaxed life.’ But I think I wanted a fulfilling one. That meant much more to me. I don’t think I would have been a satisfied person had I just lived off whatever my parents gave me”

On being a great example of nepotism she was also asked for her mother’s view about nepotism and she said: “She didn’t understand the nepotism debate that much because she was like, ‘You are working so hard.’ For her, it was like, ‘Your parents' bad karma goes into your children but your parents’ good karma will also go to your children. Why are you being punished for it? You should be punished if you are taking advantage of it.’
