Jahnvi Kapoor, Sridevi's elder daughter, will be spending her birthday with her mother's ashes in Rameshwaram. She turns 21 today and is set to star in Karan Johar's Dhadak. Arjun Kapoor who has been beside the family and especially his father since the news first came, will not be in Rameshwaram today. The actor has already flown to Amritsar along with Parineeti Chopra.

Sridevi passed away on the night of February 24 in the UAE. The actress was present there with her family to attend Mohit Marwah's wedding. A few days after the wedding, she decided to stay back and on Saturday she passed away due to "accidental drowning", as per Dubai authorities.
