Its Sridevi’s 58th Birth Anniversary. True Scoop remembers late actress Sridevi while recalling the hilarious incident that her daughter shared with us.

Janhvi Kapoor has said that her mother, late actress Sridevi, once misread her name, which she carried with her for eight years.

Janhvi Kapoor, a Bollywood actress, has an oddly spelled name. While Jaanvi or Jhanavi are more popular variations of the name, the actor's name frequently causes confusion not just for others but even for herself.

Janhvi discussed how her name has always been difficult to pronounce during a recent visit on ‘Social Media Star’. Janhvi began by saying that it's "not that confusing," but then went on to tell the story of how she felt her name was spelt incorrectly for years.

“I had just started learning how to spell while I was in school. I honestly had no idea how to spell my own name. I called out to Mom (late actress Sridevi) while she was showering in her bathroom. ‘How do you spell my name, Mumma?' She spelt my name incorrectly. J-A-N-H-A-V-I, she said. I never questioned it for some reason. "It's been eight years," she stated.

“We were on our way someplace, I believe to London, and I finally opened my passport and realised that my entire existence had been a lie,” she says. My friends continue to make fun of me. ‘You need to shut up since you didn't know how to spell your name until you were 12 years old,' they remark every time I tell them something,” she said.
