Juhi Chawla pens a heartfelt note for daughter Janhavi Mehta and her love for cricket; says, ‘As a mother, I feel blessed and proud of the little girl’ – Times of India

Juhi also shared that every time the sport is discussed, her daughter’s face lights up. Sharing adorable moments with her, Juhi wrote, “Ever since she was a little girl, Jahnavi didn’t just watch IPL, she began to watch cricket. Listening intently to the commentators, she began to understand the intricacies of the game. When she was about 12 years old, we were in Bali on a family holiday. At the hotel was a coffee table book, the size of ( what used to be ) a thick telephone directory, remember those ..?? It had the life stories, achievements, records, a sort of almanac, of allllll the cricketers of the world .. In the few days that we spent at the hotel, in between her jumping into the pool and behaving like a mad hatter, she sat at the poolside gazebo and read that book cover to cover …!!! It was so unusual and so intense. Which 12 year old girl does that I wondered …? As the years have passed her interest in the game has only increased.”

She further added, “When cricket is discussed, her face lights up, she is happy and enthused. Her knowledge on the topic, is to me, astounding. Jahnavi set a sort of record of being the youngest person to be allowed at the IPL Auction table 3 years ago, she was just 17. Aryan and Jahnavi attended the last Auction, and this time Suhana joined them. It is extremely kind of Mr Venky Mysore , our CEO who allows her to participate in important discussions and even encourages her to voice her views. He fondly calls her ‘ Coach ‘ . Of course, she is just like a young intern, training at the KKR camp, but she feels so puffed about it. ????. She is where her heart is, and it shows. As a mother, I feel blessed, happy and proud of the little girl. She is extremely bright, has a long way to go, with God’s grace, she is on her way. ????????????.”

Recently, when Janhavi and Aryan’s pictures were shared on social media, fans were seen comparing them to Juhi and SRK respectively.
