On her mother’s first death anniversary, Janhvi had taken to her Instagram handle and had written the most heart-wrenching lines. She had shared a monochrome picture of her mother’s hand in her hand and had written, “My heart will always be heavy. But I’ll always be smiling because it has you in it.” Take a look at the picture:
After the sudden demise of Sridevi, Janhvi Kapoor had written an emotional tribute for her mother, which went like this, “There is a gnawing hollowness in my chest that I know I’ll have to learn how to live with. Even with all this emptiness, I still feel your love. I feel you protecting me from sadness and pain. Every time I close my eyes, I only have good things to remember. I know it’s you doing that. You were a blessing in all our lives, we were blessed to have had you for as long as we did. But you weren’t meant for this world. You were too good, too pure, too full of love. That’s why he took you back. But at least we had you.”
It had further stated, “My friends always said I’m perpetually happy, and now I realise it was because of you. Nothing anyone said mattered, no problem was big enough, and no day could ever be dull because I had you. And you loved me. And I didn’t have to rely on anyone or anything because the only person I ever needed was you. You are a part of my soul. My best friend. My reason for everything. Your whole life you kept giving, and all I wanted was to do that for you too, Mumma. I want to make you so proud. Every morning, all that I would do was with the hope that one day you’d be as proud of me as I was of you. But I promise I’ll wake up every day still with that same thought. Because you’re here and I can feel you. You’re in me, Khushi and in Papa. The imprint you’ve left on us is so strong, it might just be enough to keep us going, but never enough to be fully whole. I love you, my everything.” (Also Read: Inaaya Naumi Kemmu Looks Adorable As She Helps Mommy, Soha Ali Khan Clean The House, Video Inside)
