Sridevi says Jhanvi’s marriage comments were “misunderstood”
A few days ago, Sridevi said she would have preferred daughter, Jhanvi Kapoor to get married rather than taking the acting route.
After her comments were made, the veteran actress received some backlash from the public. She has now taken to Instagram to clarify her comments and said that they were misconstrued.
“My comment was misunderstood and it really concerns me that it’s sounding like I believe girls are only meant to get married and settle down. That’s not what I want for my daughters, I want them to be able to stand on their own feet and have their own identity. I’ve always told them never to be dependant on anyone in any capacity. It’s very important to me that young girls understand that the end goal of their life is not to get married and have babies, they have every right to make something of themselves if they wish to. What I meant to say initially was that I would prefer if my daughters didn’t lead the kind of hectic life that comes with this business and instead have a relatively stable and relaxed life. But they are ambitious and I have come to respect that like every parent should, and that respect overshadows my parental instincts now.”
