Janhvi Kapoor opened up on the impact of the media attention after her mother, Sridevi's death. Janhvi lost her mother in 2018.

In a conversation with Barkha Dutt at We The Women, Mumbai, Jahnvi said, "I think that was such an individual experience, that even if I told you all about it, I don't know if any of you will relate to it."

She added, "I know everyone is opportunistic nature, and everyone wants a headline, I would hate if I ever sounded like I was using such a painful part of my life, and my mother, for a headline."

Jahnvi also said, "The voyeuristic nature of journalism today, of media culture, and social media, has single handedly contributed to the complete derailment of human morality. And I see it more and more everyday and i think it was horrible when I lost my mom. I don't know if anyone of you all can imagine to lose any one that is close to you and be it become a meme."

Actor Sridevi, passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai, UAE, due to a cardiac arrest.
