Boney Kapoor, in an interview to Pinkvilla thanked the initiative on behalf of his family consisting of his two daughters Janhvi and Khushi.

Sri lives with us every day…not a minute goes by when we don’t miss her.” Janhvi Kapoor, who debuted alongside Ishaan Khatter in Shashank Khaitan's Dhadak, also posted a throwback image of the actor with Janhvi as a toddler and Boney Kapoor.
