The 53-year-old actress says initially Jhanvi was getting affected of what was being written about her personal life in media.
"The other day she was very upset with reports that she was chasing a hero in a party, but that was not true. She was with director Gauri Shinde who was also there at the same party.
"Since it's happening in the beginning of her career she isn't liking it. She was quite upset and I was like, 'Welcome to this world,'" Sridevi told PTI.
Sridevi says now that her daughter has decided to come into films, she really cannot stop anyone from writing about her.

"There is nothing wrong in going out with friends. A person wants to write something wrong, he will write it even if you are just going out with friends. I can't stop that as she is a public (figure now). I have no control over anything."
The actress says she knows her daughter too well, and therefore does not care what others say.
Jhanvi has been in news for her appearance at social events and parties for a while now and Sridevi says she is okay with her getting all the attention by paparazzi.
"Wherever she goes she gets clicked, so what do I say about that. Even when you go to a restaurant or gym or anywhere, they (media) are everywhere and I can't blame them also as they are doing their job.
Jhanvi, whose father, Boney Kapoor, is a well known producer, will be launched by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.
She is likely to make her acting with "Student of the Year 2".
When asked about it, Sridevi says, "I don't want to talk about her film as it is too early. I don't think I should say anything."
Meanwhile, Sridevi is gearing up for the release of her film "Mom" on July 7.
