Janhvi Kapoor Biography, Height, Weight, Age, Affair, Family, Net Worth In 2025

Janhvi Kapoor was born on March 7th, 1997, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, and is a budding Bollywood actress with a graceful screen presence whose family legacy includes her as the daughter of legendary actress Sridevi and film producer Boney Kapoor. Film and acting are part of Janhvi's story, born into a family saturated with actors. Given that Janhvi was born into a people-thirsty industry, it can be said she was born with a silver spoon. Janhvi, in fact, is a name derived from a character voiced by Urmila Matondkar in the film Judaai, released around the time of Janhvi's birth.  

Janhvi attended and completed her schooling at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai. She also went on to hone her craft at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, also in Los Angeles, California, the same acting program from which Bollywood mega star Ranbir Kapoor completed his studies.

She made her highly anticipated Bollywood debut in 2018 with Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khatter under Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The film, which was a remake of the Marathi super-hit Sairat, introduced her to the industry as a promising actress. Initially, she was offered the role of the female lead in Student of the Year 2, but she ultimately made her debut as a lead actress with Dhadak. Janhvi was praised for her performance and became one of the most popular new-generation stars in no time.

Janhvi shares a close bond with all of her siblings -- Khushi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor. Their family went through a tragedy when their beloved mother, Sridevi, died in 2018, just a few months before her debut. Following the tragic passing of her mother, she has relentlessly pursued her career.

In addition to acting, she has a sense of fashion and an interest in dancing and singing. She's been in the limelight for her casual dressing sense, her striking looks, and her relationships that were the fodder for entertainment headlines in the media. A young, upcoming star with talent and fashion sense, Janhvi Kapoor (let's remind you that she is carrying on her mother's legacy) is making her mark in the Hindi film industry.
