  "account": "Mumbai: Sisters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor spoke about the moment they found out their mother Sridevi had passed away during an appearance on 'Koffee With Karan' season 8. Janhvi informed host Karan Johar that she got the heartbreaking news on a phone call while at home. Upon hearing the call, Janhvi rushed to her younger sister Khushi, who was already sobbing. However, Khushi ceased her crying as soon as she saw Janhvi, offering her sister comfort. Janhvi recalls, \"When I got the call, I was in my room, and I could hear wailing from Khushi’s room. I barged into her room, crying, but what I remember is she looked at me, and the minute she looked at me, she stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me, and I've never seen her cry about it since.\" Khushi shared that she felt the need to stay strong for her family during that difficult time, as she had always been the strong one in the family. Janhvi also noted that Khushi shares some characteristics with their late mother Sridevi, particularly in their approach to work. While both are quiet, Khushi transforms on camera. Sridevi tragically died in February 2018 while Janhvi was in Dubai attending her husband Boney Kapoor's nephew's wedding. The cause of Sridevi's death was determined to be an accidental drowning.",
