The trailer for Janhvi Kapoor’s much-anticipated debut film Dhadak is set to be released on June 11 and her brother Arjun Kapoor, who will not be in the city for the occasion has some unfeigned advice for his sister. He took to social media to share his fraternal advice and good wishes.
“Tomorrow you will be part of the audience forever @janhvikapoor cause your trailer comes out... Firstly, sorry I’m not there in Mumbai but I’m by your side, don’t worry. I just wanted you to know this profession is amazing if you work hard, be honest, learn to take the accolades with the brickbats, respect opinions, yet follow ur own path & instinct. It’s not gonna be easy but I know your are ready for all the madness that will ensue. All the best for #dhadak! I’m certain my friends @shashankkhaitan & @karanjohar have presented you & @ishaan95 as the modern Romeo & Juliet with elan !!!”Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor’s mother and Boney Kapoor’s wife, Mona Kapoor passed away after her prolonged battle with cancer on March 25, just two months before Arjun Kapoor made his debut with Ishaqzaade which released in theatres on May 11. Janhvi Kapoor also lost her mother, Sridevi in February, tragically before she could witness her debut in the Shashank Khaitan directorial, Dhadak in July.
Arjun reportedly shared a strained relationship with Sridevi and her daughters. But in the wake of her unfortunate death, the family seems to have come together - in a case of shared grief uniting estranged siblings.
Janhvi Kapoor stars opposite Ishaan Khatter in the production bankrolled by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
