Sridevi was not only one of the most talented and versatile actresses in Indian cinema but also a remarkable woman off-screen. Throughout her illustrious career, she delivered countless hit films, leaving audiences in awe of her stellar performances. However, beyond the spotlight, Sridevi was a loving wife, a devoted friend, and a doting mother, not just to her own daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, but also to the children in the extended Kapoor family. Recently, her sister-in-law, Maheep Kapoor, shared how Sridevi stepped in as a mother figure during times she felt overwhelmed while caring for her daughter, Shanaya Kapoor.
