Heartfelt Family Memories Shared on Social Media
Filmmaker Boney Kapoor recently shared a nostalgic throwback photo on Instagram featuring his late wife, Sridevi, and their daughter, Janhvi Kapoor, during a family trip to Los Angeles.

She began her acting career at the age of four and made her Bollywood debut in 1972 with the film "Rani Mera Naam." Over her illustrious career, she received numerous accolades, including the Padma Shri, India’s fourth-highest civilian honor, in 2013. Boney and Sridevi married in 1996 and had two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, both of whom are now pursuing careers in acting.
