Bollywood actress, Janhvi Kapoor is one of the most stunning actresses in B-Town, and there's no second thought about it.

Time and again, Janhvi has left her fans amazed by her similar looks to her mother, whom she was extremely close to.
In 2021, Janhvi Kapoor appeared on the show, Social Media Star, and talked about the conundrum related to the name of her spelling. Mentioning how her name is a little different from the common spelling of the word, Janhvi revealed that she got the spelling of her name wrong for eight years. Sharing the reason behind the same, she stated that her mom, Sridevi once told her the wrong spelling of her name, which she continued to follow till the age of 12. Janhvi was heard saying:
“When I was in school, I had just started learning how to spell. I genuinely didn't know the spelling of my name. Mom (late actor Sridevi) was showering in her bathroom, and I yelled out to her. ‘Mumma, how do you spell my name?’ She misspelled my name. She said J-A-N-H-A-V-I. And for some reason, I never questioned it. For eight years.”

“We were going somewhere, I think to London, and I finally opened my passport, and I was like, my whole life has been a lie. My friends still make fun of me. Every time I tell them something, they say, ‘You need to shut up because you didn’t know how to spell your name until you were 12'."

But there was this horrible feeling of ‘something bad has happened’ to justify all the great things in my life and all the privileges and the things that I got easily which I heard my entire life.
