A doting mother, an iconic actress and a loving wife, Sridevi donned many a hat. The sudden demise of the actress left the industry, fans and most of all her family in shock.

Sridevi, in fact, shocked the media when she made a comment on Jhanvi entering Bollywood. Here’s what she had to say:

“Jhanvi wanted to do SOTY 2 and initially, I wasn’t in favour. I don’t think it’s a bad industry. I am a creation of this world. But as a parent, it would give me greater joy to see her married. But her happiness matters more, and if she does well as an actress, I will be a proud mother.”

Well, apprehension and anxiety are not different even for celeb moms, right?

2. On Motherhood

Many stars have commented a whole lot of things on motherhood, but Sridevi spoke very little. But when she did, she made sure it was hard-hitting.

3. On being an all-in-all mother

And at one such event, where the trio was spotted in their fashionable best, Sridevi openly told the media that there is nothing more important than her kids.

“For me, they will always be kids. But they seem to have taken less after me and more after my bold screen image. Last year, when Khushi wrote a post about body shaming on Instagram, I was pleasantly surprised to see my kid turn into a strong, opinionated and sharp young woman.”
