Janhvi Kapoor chose a special way to celebrate Halloween this year by remembering her late mother, legendary actor Sridevi. The actor recreated Sridevi’s famous look from the 1986 fantasy film Nagina, sharing pictures and videos that brought back memories of the much loved Bollywood classic. Her tribute featured a similar outfit, familiar poses and references to some of the film’s most memorable moments.
Janhvi wore a white and pink embroidered outfit inspired by the costume Sridevi wore in Nagina. She also recreated some of her mother’s photographs from the film, including the well known pose in which Sridevi is seen sitting on the floor. Along with this, Janhvi recreated the film’s iconic poster, giving fans a chance to compare the original look with her version.

Janhvi shared side by side pictures and videos featuring Sridevi’s original scenes alongside her own recreation. The clips were set to the popular song ‘Main Teri Dushman’ from Nagina. The track remains one of the film’s most recognised songs, particularly because of its famous snake dance sequence.
In her caption, Janhvi dedicated the tribute to her mother, Rishi uncle and Amrish sir. She was referring to Rishi Kapoor and Amrish Puri, who were also associated with the fantasy drama. Through the post, Janhvi revisited a film that remains closely connected with her mother’s legacy.

Janhvi’s sister Khushi Kapoor also reacted to the pictures and praised her recreation. She declared that her sister had ‘won Halloween’.
Several fans appreciated the effort Janhvi had put into matching Sridevi’s outfit, expressions and poses. The familiar visuals also brought back memories of the original film for viewers who had watched it over the years. However, some social media users pointed out that a few of the shared images appeared to contain AI edits.
Why Sridevi’s Nagina remains a Bollywood favourite
Released in 1986, Nagina featured Sridevi in one of her best remembered fantasy roles. Her performance, along with the song ‘Main Teri Dushman’, became a major part of the film’s identity.
Nearly four decades later, Janhvi’s Halloween recreation has brought the film back into conversation, reminding audiences of Sridevi’s lasting contribution to Hindi cinema.
