Similarities Between Arjun Kapoor and Jahnvi Kapoor’s Debut That Would Be Unreal If They Weren’t True

In the last few months after Sridevi’s demise, one of the most heart-warming things to witness was the evolution of the relationship between Arjun Kapoor and Jahnvi Kapoor.  From formally cordial half-siblings, Arjun and Jahnvi have developed a relationship that is as warm as the wonderful as the relationship Arjun shared with her real sister Anshula Kapoor. From protecting her from trolls to writing a heartfelt message during the trailer launch of Jahnvi’s debut film, Arjun is being a perfect elder brother to her.

But apart from sharing this warm bond, they also share a lot of similarities when it comes to their debuts. Here are some similarities between both their debuts which would be totally unreal if they were not true.

Both Their Moms Expired Shortly Before The Release

One of the most unfortunate incidents that happened to befall these half-siblings was the sudden demise of their respective mothers. While Arjun Kapoor’s mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor passed away before the release of Ishaqzaade after a long battle with cancer, Jahnvi Kapoor’s mother, superstar Sridevi died mere months before due to a certain attack.

Similarities Between Their Debut Film

Both Arjun and Jahnvi’s debut films, Ishaqzaade and Dhadak respectively share a lot of similarities. Both the films are stories of doomed and star-crossed lovers in a Romeo Juliet like situation. Ishaqzaade had a strong honor killing angle and given Dhadak is based on Sairat which was mostly about honor killing as well, we see a lot of similarities there too!

Not Launched By Father, But With The Biggest Production Houses

Father of Arjun and Jahnvi is one of the most well-known producers in the industry Boney Kapoor. However, when the time came for the debut of his children he chose to stay away from it. But both Arjun and Jahnvi were launched by two of the biggest production houses in the country. While Arjun was launched by Yash Raj Productions, Jahnvi was launched by the Dharma Productions.

Launched With Another Star Sibling/Cousin

Even in their terms of their first co-star, they have a certain similarity. Both of their co-stars have Bollywood superstars for their elder brother and sister. Arjun’s first co-star, Parineeti Chopra is the cousin of superstar Priyanka Chopra, while Jahnvi’s co-star Ishaan Khatter is the half-brother of none other than Shahid Kapoor.
