"When I got the call, I was in my room and I could hear wailing from Khushi's room. I think I barged into her room, hauling and crying but what I do remember is she looked at me and the minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me and I've never seen her cry about it since," said Janhvi Kapoor on the show.
As Janhvi revealed these details, she got a little emotional. Even Karan Johar had tears in his eyes.
Talking about losing her mother, Khushi Kapoor said, "I think it took me a while to kind of accept it. I think it did suddenly hit me after a while. I had Janhvi, I had my dad. I felt like I had to hold it together for everyone because I feel like I've always been the strong one."
