Unfair to compare Sridevi and Jahnvi: Farah Khan

MUMBAI: Farah Khan, who worked with Sridevi and has now choreographed for Janhvi in “Dhadak”, feels it would be unfair to compare the newcomer with her mother.

Farah believes every actor has a different approach towards the craft and their individuality should be respected.

“Janhvi is absolutely lovely and she is a very good dancer. She picks up really fast and to compare her to her mother is the most unfair thing I think because Sri by her age was already a veteran and this is Janhvi’s first film.

“I love Sri. When I started my career, she really pushed me and I used to do all her shows. But everybody is (a different) individual,” Farah said.

Sridevi, who started film career at the age of four, died of accidental drowning in Dubai last month. She was 54.

Farah has recreated the popular track “Zingat” from blockbuster Marathi film “Sairat” for the Hindi remake version of Karan Johar produced “Dhadak”, that marks the acting debut of Jahnvi and Shahid Kapoor’s half brother Ishaan Khatter. (AGENCIES)
