Purple Reign: Sridevi and Janhvi Kapoor embrace a royal hue


Sridevi's first-born Janhvi Kapoor made a dazzling appearance at Karan Johar's 50th birthday party held  on the 25th of May at Yash Raj Studio in Mumbai. A Dharma Productions protégé, the leading lady of Dhadak's appearance was expected as Johar did produce the young starlet's first ever film. 

In keeping with the theme of the bash, Sridevi's eldest opted for a family favourite, designer Manish Malhotra's sparkling ensemble for the gala event. Many a leading lady wore glittering gowns, cocktail dresses and mostly western silhouettes. Even in that Bollywood melee, Janhvi stood out. However, Sridevi fanatics on social media quickly pointed out the resemblance the outfit has to one of Sridevi's own purple gowns, a Donna Karan number she wore to Filmfare Awards Nite back in January 2011. 

Now the comparisons are inevitable - be it with the gown or the glorious Sri - but it needn't be negative, but nostalgic. Especially since the Indian icon's tragic passing, fans of the late great (greatest!) actress have an alarming tendency to compare and contrast with one and all. 

Personally, we have no opinion on this, negative or positive. Its all.... fine.
