National Film Awards 2018 has been in the news for wrong reasons today. The fact that the President Of India didn’t hand out the trophies to all the awardees didn’t go down well with the recipients. However, 11 of the awardees, who were honoured by the President, included Sridevi and Vinod Khanna’s family. Sridevi was awarded the Best Actress and Dadasaheb Phalke awards posthumously. Boney Kapoor, Janhvi and Khushi were present at the event and received the honour from the President. But it’s Janhvi’s saree that caught our attention. She wore her mom’s favourite attire.

Manish Malhotra, one of Sridevi’s closest friends, posted on his Instagram saying how she wore her mother’s saree during this emotional moment. He wrote, “The very pretty @janhvikapoor as she goes to Receive Sridevi Ma’am’s Much Deserved National Award for her fabulous performance in Mom’ … An Actress and a human being and the friend that we all miss every day of our life’s … #jhanvikapoor in her Mom s personel Saree for this emotional and precious moment ..,” We are pretty sure it must have been a really emotional moment for the family, having lost Sridevi. Her death came as a shock to the entire nation. For her powerful role in Mom, she was awarded this honour. Check out Janhvi’s saree right here…
