Janhvi on her mother's death
During her appearance on Koffee With Karan, Janhvi recalled the day her mother died.

But what I do remember is, she looked at me and the minute she looked at me, she stopped crying. She just stopped crying. She sat next to me and started comforting me. And I have never seen her cry about it since."
