Boney Kapoor recently opened up about his late wife, Sridevi, and revealed that she saw some scenes of their daughter Janhvi Kapoor in her debut film 'Dhadak' before passing away. In an interview with ETimes, the ace filmmaker said, 'We had seen the rushes of Dhadak when Sridevi was alive. So, she had seen her daughter on screen.' He also revealed that if Sridevi had been alive, she would have worked with Janhvi in the movie 'Kalank', which was earlier titled Shiddat. 'When Janhvi grew up, Karan Johar came home and expressed his desire to launch her. He wanted to make Shiddat with Janhvi, which later got released as 'Kalank.' He wanted Janhvi to play the role, eventually played by Alia Bhatt in the film, and wanted Sridevi to essay the character played by Madhuri Dixit. However, later, he decided to make 'Dhadak' with Janhvi. Till Sridevi was alive, 'Kalank 'was called 'Shiddat' and she had agreed to do the film reluctantly,' said Boney Kapoor. He also shared that the 'Chandni' actress was proud of Khushi, who had received a scholarship at the New York Film Academy. Sridevi passed away in 2018 in Dubai, months before the release of Janhvi's debut movie 'Dhadak'.
