Ever since Janhvi Kapoor had made her debut in 2018 with the film, Dhadak, she had never shied away from giving an insight into the lives of the Kapoors and her relationship with late mom, Sridevi. And the Benetton fragrance launch event in 2019 was no different! Janhvi had given sneak peeks into her own personal olfactory memory lane, describing scents that reminded her of some cherishable moments of her life, which is related with Sridevi. Revealing her mother's favourite scent, Janhvi had said, "My childhood smells like my mom. We used to spend a lot of time in our home in Chennai, and she used to put mogras all over our house and in her hair, so it smells like her."
Janhvi Kapoor had also reminisced her first makeup memory, which was a special moment with her mother, Sridevi. Janhvi had recalled, "I had a stage show at school, where I was doing a Bharatnatyam dance, and mom did my makeup for that." Years later, Janhvi had revealed that she had learnt an important skincare tip that her mother vouched for too, "After you work out, because your pores are open, put ice or cold water on your face to close the pores back again."
Even in August 2018 at the Vogue Beauty Awards, Janhvi Kapoor had revealed the important skincare and haircare tricks that she had gleaned from Sridevi during her childhood, like oiling her strands and using food as face masks. She was then quoted as saying, "Mom would make our hair oil at home with dried flowers and amla, and she'd make sure she gave me and Khushi an oil massage every three days. Whatever leftover [fruit] we had from breakfast, we'd put on our face." Continuing the same thing now, Janhvi had added, "I use honey, malai, whatever I have available."
