Mumbai, February 24: On the eve of her mother’s first death anniversary, actress Jhanvi Kapoor remembered her mother in an emotional Instagram post late Saturday night.
Sharing a picture in which she was holding her mother late actress Sridevi’s hand, she wrote in a post on Saturday: “My heart will always be heavy. But I’ll always be smiling because it has you in it”.
With a heart emoji, her eldest cousin, Sonam Kapoor commented: “Love you sweety”.
Filmmaker Karan Johar commented: “Love you”.
The Kapoor family will hold a prayer meet to mark her first death anniversary on Sunday.
Boney Kapoor with daughters Khushi and Jhanvi held a puja at her Chennai house on her first death anniversary as per ‘tithi’ on February 14.
Sridevi accidentally drowned in her bathtub in February this day last year. Her death came as a shock to the Kapoor family and the actress’s fans.
In her Instagram Story, Shilpa Shetty shared a picture with Sridevi and wrote, “You are in our thoughts. RIP.”
Sridevi made her Hindi film debut as a child artiste in 1975 hit “Julie” and continued ruling the South Indian film industry where she established herself as a leading heroine with films such as “16 Vayathinile”, “Sigappu Rojakkal”, “Meendum Kokila” and “Moondram Pirai”.
In Bollywood, she made her debut as a lead actor in 1978’s “Solva Sawan” and followed it up with a number of commercial hits such as “Himmatwala”, “Mawaali”, “Tohfa”, “Mr India”, “Chandni”, “Lamhe”, “Nagina” and “Khuda Gawah” among several others.
“Mr India” director Shekhar Kapur said he still finds it difficult to come to terms with Sridevi’s sudden demise.
“Still can’t get over that this bundle of life, of energy, of love, left us when she has so much much more to give,” he wrote.
Sridevi took a break from acting after 1997 film “Judaai” to focus on her marriage with producer Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi and Khushi.
She made a successful comeback 15 years later with Gauri Shinde’s “English Vinglish”.
Veteran actor Shabana Azmi took to Twitter and wrote, “A year already. #Sridevi. You will live on through your work.”
