A mom’s death is the most painful thing a child can go through, and imagine a situation where you can’t even cry in peace. Recently, Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the most painful chapters of her life. She recalled how her family’s grief was not treated with sensitivity when she lost her mom, the legendary actress Sridevi. People consumed the news as another form of entertainment.

She revealed the dark side of celebrity culture. Her words reflected the pain celebrity families face in times of tragedy.

A Daughter’s Pain in the Public Eye

Sridevi's sudden death in February 2018 was shocking news for the entire world. We had lost an icon who had lit up the screen for decades.

But think about Janhvi, it was not just the passing of a superstar. It was the loss of her mother, someone who brought her to this world.

In her recent statement, Janhvi said:

“It didn’t feel real. People consumed it like entertainment. They felt we were not humans, that our grief was just another show.”

This shows how easily society forgets the humanity behind celebrity lives.

When Grief Became Gossip

Unfortunately, celebrities don't have a private life. They can’t even moan peacefully in the deepest moments of pain.

When Sridevi passed away, news channels ran continuously for coverage. Social media was flooded with speculations and insensitive jokes.This is what Janhvi meant when she said their loss was turned into entertainment.

Coping with the Loss of a Parent

Losing a parent is a wound that never fades. The loss of a parent shakes the foundation of a child’s world. While adults may process grief with maturity, children often struggle to come out that grief. The right support and love can help to a large extent in such cases.

The Human Side of Celebrities

Celebrities are not characters of a show, they are also people with families. They feel pain just like any other human being. No matter if it is a celebrity or the next neighbour, when someone loses a loved one, the least we can offer is empathy.

Despite her personal tragedy, Janhvi Kapoor gathered herself and moved forward. Janhvi often mentions how her mother’s values and teachings continue to guide her in life. She has always mentioned in interviews how deeply she is connected to her family.
