Khushi Kapoor remembered her late mother and legendary actress Sridevi on what would have been her 62nd birth anniversary with a deeply personal throwback picture. Rather than writing a long message, Khushi let a cherished childhood memory speak for itself, sharing a rare family photograph on Instagram that instantly caught the attention of fans.
The picture features a young Khushi standing between Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, holding both her parents' hands. Sridevi can be seen in a simple black top and grey trousers, while Boney Kapoor stands beside her in a dark outfit. The intimate family moment offers a glimpse into a quieter chapter of the Kapoor family's life, making the post all the more emotional.
What made the tribute particularly poignant was Khushi's decision to share the photograph without a caption. There were no elaborate words or explanations—just the image of a daughter with her parents. Sometimes, the simplest tributes carry the most weight, and Khushi's understated post appeared to do exactly that as fans remembered Sridevi alongside her.
Sridevi, who passed away in 2018, remains one of the most celebrated stars in Indian cinema. From Chandni and Mr. India to Lamhe, English Vinglish and Mom, she created a body of work that continues to inspire audiences and performers. Her ability to move effortlessly between glamour, comedy and emotionally demanding roles cemented her position as one of Indian cinema's most influential actresses.
The tribute also arrives at an interesting point in Khushi Kapoor's own career, with the actress reportedly set to headline Mom 2, a spiritual sequel to Sridevi's acclaimed 2017 film Mom. The project is expected to be produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Girish Kohli, with a reported November 2026 release. If the project moves ahead as planned, it would add an especially personal layer to Khushi's journey as she follows a path connected to her mother's cinematic legacy.
Sridevi's Mom was particularly significant as it marked her final film appearance and showcased the actress in an intense, emotionally layered performance. The possibility of Khushi stepping into a story connected to that world has naturally generated curiosity, although the new film will have its own narrative and identity.
Over the years, Khushi has spoken about the lasting influence of her mother, while fans have often noticed glimpses of Sridevi in her expressions and appearance. On Sridevi's birth anniversary, however, it was not the comparisons or the career legacy that took centre stage—it was simply a daughter remembering her mother.
Khushi's childhood photograph ultimately became a quiet celebration of Sridevi beyond the superstar image. For millions who grew up watching the actress on screen, she remains an unforgettable icon; for Khushi, she was first and foremost her mother. And on her 62nd birth anniversary, that distinction made the tribute all the more touching.
