Janhvi Kapoor is touring India to promote her upcoming film, Mr and Mrs Mahi. Accompanying her is Sridevi’s niece and yesteryear actor Maheshwari. Janhvi’s latest set of pictures on Instagram garnered attention not just for the places she visited but also because fans recognised the actor accompanying her. 

Janhvi in Chennai

Janhvi is back in Mumbai but early on Monday she shared pictures taken at a temple with Maheshwari. Dressed in a floral langa voni, Janhvi is all smiles as she poses for a picture with her cousin. She wrote, “Visited Muppathamman temple for the first time, mummas most favourite place to visit in Chennai.”

Varun Dhawan commented under the pic, “Masi whose actually your sister,” referring to how Janhvi calls Maheshwari her aunt due to the age gap between them. A fan who also recognised Maheswari but seemed to not recollect her name wrote, “I remember this lady as Sridevi’s bribed niece. I believe her name is Shadeswari not sure if spelled correctly.” Another wrote, “That’s actress Maheshwari, they’re cousins.”

Maheswari has also been sharing reels of Janhvi promoting Mr and Mrs Mahi at Varanasi and Delhi. She captioned one of the reels, “The insane..infectious energy and vibe!!!the love and adulation!!!! overwhelming!!! A proud moment Jaanu Raja and it's just the beginning!!!!” Actor Vishnupriya Bhimeneni commented, “Ur such an angel Jahnavi is so lucky to have u.”
