Janhvi Kapoor Remembers Panic Attack After Watching Sridevi Tribute Video
Janhvi Kapoor has opened up about experiencing a panic attack during a TV dance performance while promoting her film Dhadak after viewing a tribute video for her late mother, Sridevi.
In an interview with Mashable India, the 27-year-old actress discussed a challenging moment, reminiscing about a panic attack she had.
The Bawaal actress revealed that she attended a dance show shortly after her mother’s passing, when her emotions were raw and she felt deeply vulnerable.
Janhvi said: “So they played an audiovisual of all my mother’s songs with an emotional voiceover, and these started dancing to pay homage.”
She added that the tribute was beautiful, but she wasn’t emotionally prepared for it.
Janhvi divulged: “I couldn’t breathe anymore. I started howling and crying. I ran off the stage and went to my van. Had a proper panic attack.”
She added: “They obviously cut all that out and instead put up another clip of me clapping and smiling, and people were like, ‘Does she really not give a f*?’ But what happened was very different.”
For the unversed, Sridevi died due to accidental death by drowning on February 24, 2018.
Regarding her professional front, Janhvi is set to appear in the upcoming film Mr & Mrs Mahi alongside Rajkummar Rao in the lead role.
The film is scheduled to release on May 31, 2024.
