Janhvi Kapoor has opened up about getting a nose job and revealed how her late mother, legendary actress Sridevi, reacted to her decision to become an actress. In a candid conversation with her maternal
cousin, actress Maheswari, Janhvi recalled how Sridevi was initially unsure about her entering the film industry. Interestingly, she also revealed that her mother’s opinion changed after she underwent nose surgery.
During the conversation, a clip of which is going viral on Reddit, Maheswari asked Janhvi about Sridevi’s reaction when she told her that she wanted to become an actress. Janhvi said, “She said, ‘Okay, but then you have to give your life to it’.”
Maheswari then recalled how Sridevi had spoken to her about Janhvi’s career plans. “Jaanu wants to be in films, but I’m not very keen because it’s a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, and you have to be really strong to get in there,” she remembered Sridevi saying.
Janhvi then made a candid revelation. “I think maybe you should cut this out, but I think before I did my nose, she was unsure. She was like, ‘I don’t think it’s…’ After I did my nose, she’s like, ‘Yeah, there’s potential’,” she said.
Maheswari agreed that the family had gone through similar phases. Janhvi then brought up her mother’s own experience with cosmetic surgery, adding, “Even Mumma. That was the shift in all of our lives.”

Khushi Kapoor Had Also Opened Up About Her Cosmetic Procedures
Janhvi’s comments also bring back the conversation around her younger sister Khushi Kapoor’s cosmetic procedures. Khushi had addressed the speculation around her appearance in August 2024, when she responded to a social media comment about undergoing lip fillers and a nose job. A user pointed out that she had got lip fillers, to which Khushi replied, “Lip filler and (nose emoji) hahaha.”
Khushi later spoke about cosmetic enhancements in an interview with Curly Tales. She said she did not think getting work done was a big deal but felt people should be honest about it. She also pointed out that claiming to be completely natural after undergoing cosmetic procedures could create unrealistic beauty standards for young people.
Sridevi Passed Away In 2018
Janhvi and Khushi lost their mother in February 2018, when Sridevi passed away at the age of 54 in Dubai. The actress was in the city to attend the wedding celebrations of her nephew, actor Mohit Marwah. Her sudden death came as a shock to the film industry and her fans.
