    The Yeh Dil Mera star opened up on working with Sridevi in her Bollywood debut Mom, and the bond that she shared with her family including actor Janhvi Kapoor.

    In an exclusive conversation with The Current, Sajal said that she is aware of her popularity in India and feels lucky when co-star Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi and Punjabi Indian actor Sonam Bajwa praise her work publicly.

    “I think I’m very lucky. When I did ‘Mom’ with Sridevi Ji in India, I had a chance to build a relationship with her family on a personal level. We did not have a professional dynamic with each other,” as there was a personal element in their equation.

    Speaking further about her connection with the Dhadak diva, she mentioned that the entire experience became more meaningful as her mother and the English Winglish star passed away one after the other after she wrapped the film.

    “Only a few days after my mom passed away, Sri ma’am also passed away. But I feel that her love and the memories will always remain with me,” concluded Sajal.
