This had marked the beginning of her acting career.

It was only after the death of Sri Devi, when Arjun came in the front to support his sisters because he could feel the pain which the girls were undergoing. In fact, Arjun was the one who flew from Dubai along with Boney to get the dead body of Sri Devi to Mumbai for last rites. Presently all the kids are together with their father Boney Kapoor. So, Sri Devi’s death can be considered as a turning point for their family. Advertisment Janhvi Kapoor’s Emotional State Janhvi Kapoor lost her mother Sri Devi before her twenty first birthday.

It is strange to know that Arjun Kapoor had also lost her mother right before the release of his debut film ‘Ishaqzaade’.
