Janhvi Kapoor, elder daughter of late actress Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, is all set to make her acting debut in Dhadak. While the newcomer has said that she looks up to her mother when it comes acting, she, however, has a soft corner for her younger sister, Khushi, whom she based her character Parthavi in the film.

In a recent interview, Janhvi says that she tried to emulate her younger sister for her role.

“I would see Khushi and draw parallels in my mind. There were things which are similar. Khushi is very sensitive but not very expressive. She is a little pricey as a person. She can be a little bit of a bully. But, there’s strength and resilience in my sister that is magnanimous but it is silent. There are only a few things that make her cry. When she loves, she loves deeply and there is a very deep sense of loyalty. That was another parallel I saw in Khushi and the character I am playing. They act like they don’t care. I think my sister is like that and I saw the similarity in the character I played onscreen.”
