In a Mumbai Mirror interview, Janhvi spoke about the decision to celebrate in Varanasi -- she is currently filming the Gunjan Saxena biopic in Uttar Pradesh, reportedly titled Kargil Girl. She said, “We drove to Varanasi after the day’s work so I could see the Ganga aarti and go to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.” She had intended to travel to Tirupati, but ‘arrangements could not be made’. “I wanted to visit Tirupati again. Mom (Sridevi) used to climb up to the temple every year for her birthday when she was working. I went there earlier this year and wanted to go again on my birthday, but arrangements couldn’t be made on time I might go next week,” she said.
