In response, Khushi revealed that it took her some time to fully accept and process the reality of her mother’s passing.

Chiming in, Janhvi shared, “The thing that I remember when I got the call I was in my room. I could hear wailing from Khushi’s room. I think I barged into her room howling and crying. But what I do remember, Karan, is the minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me. I have never seen her cry about it since.”

The Archies actress shared that she sensed the need to keep things together for everyone because she sees herself as the one who is perceived as strong.
