Janhvi in Chennai

Janhvi is back in Mumbai but early on Monday she shared pictures taken at a temple with Maheshwari. Dressed in a floral langa voni, Janhvi is all smiles as she poses for a picture with her cousin. She wrote, “Visited Muppathamman temple for the first time, mummas most favourite place to visit in Chennai.”
