Introduction

She was born on March 7, 1997, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, being the dearly cherished daughter of a super idol lady of Indian cinema, the late Sridevi, and respected film producer Boney Kapoor. With cinema well and truly set in her family, it was natural for Janhvi to join her parents in the film industry. Impressed by Ishaan Khatter, with whom she starred opposite, she made her Bollywood debut with Dhadak (2018).
