We all are aware of the fact that Arjun Kapoor had never had a cordial relation with his step-mother Sridevi. Even earlier in an interview, Arjun said that Sridevi means nothing to him than just being his father Boney Kapoor’s wife. Also, he expressed his desire not to keep any relations with his half-sisters Janhvi and Khushi. But Sridevi’s demise changed everything. Though Arjun never talked to his step-mom Sridevi, after her death, he helped his father Boney Kapoor with all the procedures in Dubai as well as in Mumbai. He and his sister Anshula became the pillars of strength for the family.
Recently, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Arjun Kapoor has spoken about this relationship with his sisters- Janhvi & Khushi. He said, “It’s difficult for me to give a one-off reply, or in a ‘by the way’ manner. I actually need a lot of time to process what has happened. But I just did what I felt impulsively at that point. Between me and my sister (Anshula), we felt that it was the right thing to do. Also, it all happened after we consulted my maasi (maternal aunt) because I’ll always need her consent for her to be fine about our actions.”
He further added, “Honestly, we’re still figuring things out and picking up the pieces. I’m a really emotional person, so my emotions do come out [especially on social media]. So, you can say that my protective side comes around in those moments. I’ll continue to be that way as a brother and as somebody who’s always looking out for their best interest. But I still don’t have answers to a lot of things. Too much has happened and I wouldn’t wish these things even on my worst enemies. I’ve experienced it first-hand, so if I encompass everything in one answer, it would make the matter very small.”
Arjun Kapoor is even excited about Janhvi’s debut ‘Dhadak’. He said, “I’m looking forward to watching Dhadak, and I’m very happy that people have reacted so positively to the trailer and also [to] Janhvi. She has started doing her [promotional] interviews, and she was at home a few days back to discuss how I went about my interviews during Ishaqzaade (2012; his debut film). She is a very inquisitive child that way, who’s learning how to go about things. This is a good time for her to focus on work.”
