Janhvi Kapoor reminds of Sridevi, wears her mother’s blue saree at special screening of ‘Homebound’, video goes viral

Bollywood’s “Chandni” is no longer in this world. But her family and fans often remember her on special occasions. On Monday evening, Sridevi’s daughter, Janhvi Kapoor, did something similar. The occasion was a special screening of the film “Homebound,” so she made the moment memorable by wearing her mother’s special sari. Janhvi chose the same sari that her mother, Sridevi, wore to Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wedding reception.

Janhvi Kapoor’s look at the special screening of “Homebound” has been a hit on social media. Janhvi wore the same navy blue saree that belonged to her late mother and legendary actress Sridevi. It’s the same saree she wore at Virat and Anushka’s wedding reception.

Janhvi paired this saree with a golden border and a black velvet blouse, completing her look with statement earrings, a choker-style necklace, and a sleek bun. She shared this special moment on her Instagram account, where fans praised her elegant look.
