Yesterday was Sridevi's first-born, Janhvi Kapoor's birthday. The hard-working "nepo baby" carries the weight of expectation so elegantly on her slender shoulders and quite frankly, has earned her keep.
We see little resemblance between the legend and the newcomer, but that works in her favour. There is no way anyone compared to Sridevi comes off for the better. Janhvi is a fine fashionista, dancer and actor, in her own lane. There's a likability factor that works and the enormity of legacy, which cannot be ignored either, only crops up in introduction, but she's worked hard and long enough that she can be seen with an identity of her own, uneclipsed by the luminescence of eternal Chandni, the great Sridevi.
When comparing pics of baby Sridevi to baby "Janoo" you see the resemblance, otherwise, Janhvi Kapoor is a young woman of her own standing.
