Janhvi Kapoor reveals how her sister stopped crying after mother Sridevi’s death and developed thyroid issues. How is Khushi Kapoor staying fit?

Janhvi Kapoor has often spoken about the deep emotional impact of losing her mother, Sridevi, in 2018. The sudden loss left a huge void in her life, and in several interviews, the actress has shared how the tragedy brought her closer to her sister Khushi Kapoor. In a recent conversation, Janhvi opened up about how Khushi showed unexpected strength during one of the most difficult moments of their lives, and it affected her health as well.

Recalling the day they received the heartbreaking news, the actress said that as soon as Khushi saw her, she stopped crying and instead began comforting her. That shift, she noted, stayed with her, as she has rarely seen Khushi openly express her grief since then.

In a recent candid chat with Raj Shamani, Janhvi spoke in detail about their bond and how it has evolved over the years. She explained that both sisters have taken turns being each other’s support system. Sometimes Khushi has stepped into a protective, almost parental role, while at other times, Janhvi has done the same for her. She described herself as someone who expresses emotions easily, while Khushi tends to keep her feelings inside.


According to Janhvi, this tendency to hold back emotions may have had an impact on Khushi’s health. She shared that her sister tried to stay strong for the family, suppressing her grief instead of expressing it. Over time, this emotional strain reportedly showed up physically, as Khushi developed thyroid-related issues. Janhvi mentioned that the condition fluctuated between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism but is now under control.

How Khushi Kapoor is keeping herself fit?

Khushi Kapoor is quite active when it comes to managing her health and fitness. She has also been focusing on maintaining a disciplined fitness routine. The actress is known for her dedication to workouts, including pilates and strength training. Her fitness journey shows a balanced approach, combining physical exercise with mindfulness practices. Pilates, in particular, helps improve flexibility, core strength, and breath control, while also promoting mental well-being.

Medical experts also point out a connection between emotional stress and thyroid health. According to Raymond Douglas report, severe grief can act as a strong emotional stressor, increasing cortisol levels in the body. This, in turn, can affect the immune system and disrupt the thyroid’s functioning, potentially leading to conditions like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Such insights states the importance of addressing both emotional and physical health together.

Despite these challenges, the bond between the sisters has only grown stronger. Janhvi said they are extremely protective of each other and share a deep friendship. She also added that she now encourages Khushi to express her emotions freely and reminds her that it is okay to break down when needed. According to her, Khushi does have moments when she releases her emotions, though sometimes they are triggered by seemingly small or unrelated situations.
