Janhvi has penned a beautiful letter for mother Sridevi & posted it along with some family images on Instagram. In the long letter, Janhvi wrote, “There’s is a gnawing hollowness in my chest that I know I’ll have to learn how to live with. Even with all this emptiness, I still feel your love. I feel you are protecting me from sadness and pain. Every time I close my eyes, I only have good things to remember.”

Also in the caption of her post, Janhvi has requested everyone to love their parents. She wrote ,“On my birthday, the only thing I ask of all of you is that you love your parents. Cherish them and devote yourself to making them feel that love. They have made you. And I ask that you remember my mother fondly, pray for her soul to rest in peace. Let the love and adulation you’ll showered on her continue and please know that the biggest part of my mother was the love she shared with papa. And their love is immortal because there was nothing like it in the whole world. Nothing as joyful and pure and no two people as devoted to one another as they were. Please respect that because it hurts to think anyone would ever try to tarnish it. Preserving the sanctity of what they had would mean the world not only to my mother but also to a man who’s entire being revolved around her, and her two children who are all that remains of their love. Me and Khushi have lost our mother but papa has lost his “Jaan”.
She added, "She was so much more than just an actor or a mother or a wife. She was the ultimate and the best in all these roles. It mattered a great deal to her to give love and to get love. For people to be good and gracious and kind. She didn’t understand frustration or malice or jealousy. So let’s be that. Let’s be full of only good and give only love. That would make her happy, to know that even in death, she gave you all something. The courage and inspiration to fill yourselves with nothing but love and rid yourselves of bitterness in any way and form. That’s what she stood for. Dignity, strength and innocence. Thank you for the love and support everyone has shown us in the past couple of days. It’s given us hope and strength and we can’t thank you all enough."

Sridevi passed away on 24th February late night in Dubai, where she went to attend Mohit Marwah's wedding. According to the forensic report, the 54-year-old Indian actress died of accidental drowning in her hotel room’s bathtub, after suffering a dizzying spell. According to reports, traces of alcohol were found in her body too.
Sridevi's elder daughter Janvi will make her Bollywood debut with 'Dhadak' opposite Ishaan Khatter & the film is set to release in July this year. Sridevi was very excited for Janhvi's debut but the sad part is that she passed away only few months before the release of 'Dhadak'.
Coming back to the emotional letter, all we can say is that stay strong, Janhvi!
