Sridevi Death Anniversary: Khushi Kapoor admits missing her mother during big screen debut; ‘My mom gave her all…’

Seven years have passed since the passing of Sridevi, a prominent figure in Indian cinema. On the anniversary of her death on February 24, 2025, Khushi Kapoor, her younger daughter and actress, opened up about her longing for her deceased mother during her film debut. She also revealed, “My mom poured all her efforts into acting, starting when she was just a few years old.

As I share my experiences, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey of my mother, a renowned actress who embarked on her career at just four years old. Speaking with Hindustan Times, I couldn’t help but express the profound impact she has had and continues to have on our lives. At 24, my sister Janhvi Kapoor and I are both immensely proud of our mother’s legacy, a source of pride that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Her unwavering dedication to her craft serves as an inspiration for us in our own pursuits.

Khushi Kapoor, fresh from her big-screen introduction in Loveyapa, admitted that she felt a profound longing for her mother when she watched herself on the silver screen for the very first time.

When discussing the many comparisons made to Sridevi, she expressed that it would be impossible for her to emulate her mother’s talent, not even after a century, because Sridevi was an extraordinary artist who belonged to a distinctive category seldom found among contemporary artists today.

In my own words as a lifestyle expert, let me recount one of the most striking memories I hold dear – accompanying my mother to New York for the 2012 movie, English Vinglish. On that chilly day, she gracefully executed a dance sequence in a delicate chiffon saree, braving the cold to deliver an impeccable performance. Her love for her craft was truly evident, and it continues to inspire me.

Sridevi, an esteemed actress in Indian cinema, passed away leaving behind a significant body of work marked by her diverse acting skills. Renowned for films such as Chandni, Mr. India, Lamhe, ChaalBaaz, and Sadma, she mesmerized viewers with her charm and artistic abilities.

In her final major movie, Mom (2017), she delivered a compelling performance that won her the National Film Award for Best Actress posthumously. She had a short role in Zero (2018) as well, which came out following her demise.

I’m absolutely smitten! The impact Sridevi made on Indian cinema remains undeniably revered, solidifying her as a timeless, iconic, and adored figure in the realm of Bollywood.

Simultaneously, Khushi Kapoor launched her career with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies and shared the big screen with Junaid Khan in Loveyapa. Coming soon, she will appear alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan in Nadaaniyan. This film is set to premiere on Netflix on March 7, 2025.
