Janhvi Kapoor Reveals Sridevi's Efforts to Stop Boney Kapoor from Smoking
Janhvi Kapoor recently talked about how her father, Boney Kapoor, used to smoke a lot.
She and her sister, Khushi, tried different ways to stop him, like cutting up his cigarettes or putting toothpaste on them.
Their mom, Sridevi, even stopped eating meat to convince him to quit.
However, nothing worked until after Sridevi passed away.
Boney Kapoor then decided to stop smoking.
A psychologist explained that children often try to protect their parents from addiction, and this can sometimes make the family situation more stressful.
She also said that arguing about addiction can hurt the family more than the addiction itself.
Janhvi Kapoor and her sister Khushi tried to stop their father Boney Kapoor from smoking by sabotaging his cigarettes.
Sridevi, their mother, became vegetarian to persuade Boney Kapoor to quit smoking, despite medical advice against it.
Boney Kapoor finally quit smoking 4-5 years ago, after Sridevi's passing.
Psychologist Rasshi Gurnani explains that children often try to protect their parents from addiction, which can lead to emotional stress and family conflicts.
Chronic conflict over addiction can be more damaging to a child's psychological well-being than the addiction itself.
