Janhvi Kapoor is one of the most promising actresses in Bollywood. She is the daughter of the veteran actress, Sridevi and her producer-husband, Boney Kapoor.

In an interview with the Indian Express, Janhvi Kapoor talked about her mother, Sridevi. She even reflected on her South Indian roots and revealed that she feels more connected to her mom's roots. The Dhadak actress said she considered herself more of 'Ayyappan', which is Sridevi's surname, than a 'Kapoor'. Janhvi even mentioned that she feels comfortable and secure in the South Indian culture and environment. In Her words:
"I feel an affinity, a comfort and a security in that environment. The minute I meet someone who’s South Indian, who has that accent, I feel automatically, ‘This person I like the most, this person is my best friend’."
