One particular memory stands out to her: “I have a specific memory of wearing Om Shanti Om at home, and I would wave like Shahrukh Khan and others, my cousin would tie my dupatta on her bangles to replicate The whole thing.”

Khushi also mentioned the unique relationship between her mother Sridevi and her films. He explained, “Mom would not like watching her movies at home and would become shy and awkward.” This quirk inspired the sisters to enjoy his movies in his absence and create their own fun memories.

Recalling those playful moments, Khushi fondly recalls, “When she was not around we would watch them and re-enact the funny things she would do. I remember her imitations of Charlie Chaplin. Which we used to make at home.”
