With film shoots halted, Janhvi Kapoor has been spending time at home with her family. Amid lockdown, she has been seen cooking, baking, and sharing hilarious videos with her sister Khushi Kapoor. In the latest conversation with Filmfare amid the lockdown scenario, the actress spoke about at length about self-quarantine, her mother Sridevi and her work.

Talking about Sridevi and her dancing skills, she was blown away by her aura on stage. Janhvi said, "Mom always thought that in dance it's not all about the steps, they are the last thing that you need to be thinking about. The most important thing, that she said one must do while dancing is to enjoy it thoroughly and have fun. I fondly remember one particular award function as a kid where I saw mom rehearse after a really long time. I still remember that she was just marking the steps in the hall at home instead of rehearsing. When I saw her on stage, I was surprised to see her performing so beautifully. This was nothing that I saw at home. She'd blown everyone away with that performance."

Janhvi further revealed that as a kid she would recreate songs from Chandni and Mr. India. "If given a chance, I would love to recreate the songs from Chandni as well as 'Kaate Nahi Kat Te' from Mr. India," she added. "It wasn't a dance number, but she was so expressive with her body, there was no dance movement as such, but she still caught the beat and the rhythm and those latka's and jhatka's were all so perfect. Hawa Hawai from the same film was such a fun song. Apparently, the part where she's having a ball of a time with the fruits and topi was absolutely done improv."

Sridevi passed away in February in 2018 due to accidentally drowning in the bathtub. It was few months before Janhvi Kapoor was set to make her debut in Bollywood with Dhadak.
