On August 13, the 61st birth anniversary of the legendary Sridevi, her daughter Janhvi Kapoor paid a heartfelt tribute by visiting the Tirupati temple with her beau, Shikhar Pahariya. This visit was a part of Janhvi’s tradition to honor her late mother on her special day. Dressed in a yellow saree with a teal blouse, Janhvi was seen seeking blessings at the temple, while Shikhar also wore traditional attire.
Janhvi shared her emotions with her followers on Instagram, posting a series of pictures that included a nostalgic photo of her with Sridevi, a photo of the temple stairs, and another where she is dressed in a traditional lehenga. Her post was accompanied by the caption, “Happy birthday Mumma I love you.”
Fans quickly noted Janhvi’s resemblance to actress Rashmika Mandanna in one of the pictures, with comments such as “Why she’s looking like Rashmika” and “Who else got a feeling of Rashmika in the 3rd pic! .”
Earlier in the day, Boney Kapoor, Janhvi’s father, honored Sridevi with a touching post, sharing an edited image from her 2012 film English Vinglish and writing, “Happy birthday, my jaan.”
