It was an emotional as well a proud moment for the Kapoor family as late actress Sridevi was no more with them to share the happiness and accept her 65th National Film Award by herself. Janhvi Kapoor wore her mom Sridevi’s saree for this special occasion. Designer Manish Malhotra, who was Sridevi’s close friend and favorite designer, posted this picture of Jahnvi kapoor in Kanchivaram saree. Sridevi had wore this same saree during one of the event.
