Janhvi Kapoor believes mother Sridevi's Shashi would have loved Nisha

Janhvi Kapoor shared a reel to highlight the connection she feels with Nisha, her Bawaal character. The reel draws direct parallels between Shashi and Nisha making use of scenes from both films. Going by it, both characters had vulnerability. 

Interestingly,  the storylines of English Vinglish and Bawaal are as similar as chalk and cheese. The reel, however,  does a good job of painting Shashi and Nisha as cut from the same cloth. The reel reads, 'Shashi would have loved Nisha'. Janhvi sharing the video to her Instagram stories implies that she too believes the same.
