Janhvi Kapoor on Intimate Scenes With Rajkummar Rao in Mr & Mrs Mahi: 'Our Bodies Were Broken...'

Janhvi Kapoor has opened up about her romantic scenes with Rajkummar Rao in their upcoming movie ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’. During an AMA session on Reddit, Janhvi shared some interesting anecdotes about her personal as well as professional life, and how she prepared for one of the most challenging roles of her life.

Recalling a BTS moment from the sets of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’, Janhvi said, “Most of mine and Raj’s romantic moments in the movie, me and him were completely exhausted. Like I think one of our first romantic moments were after 20-hour shift and both of us were feeling like dead and we had bad tummies, our bodies were broken and then we had to look like we were falling in love and we were gonna have our first kiss but really we were feeling we were dying inside.”

When asked if she could switch lives with any other celebrity for a day, who it would be, Janhvi was quick to take Alia Bhatt and Vikrant Massey’s names. She revealed, “I think my agenda for this would be to spend time on a film set with directors that I haven’t had the chance to work with yet. Just pick up like… I don’t know… anecdotes, guidelines and see how they direct the actors and hopefully learn from that like get all of the tips… I think it would be whichever actors working with Karan (Johar) at the time, maybe like Alia (Bhatt) on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, when she was shooting for Gangubai (Kathiawadi), I think I would love to see how Sanjay (Leela Bhansali) Sir was directing her, I think I would want to spend time as Vikrant Massey, while he was shooting for 12th Fail to see how that process went and pick up a few tips there.”

Meanwhile, the first review for ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’ is finally out. The premiere of the film took place in Mumbai on Monday night and it has received positive reactions. Stars such as Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia took to their Instagram Stories to share their review.

Angad said, “Saw this wonderful film… A story with a big heart. Asli hero toh peeche khade hoke bhi ban sakte ho!!! Well done sharry you are my 2-in-1.” Praising director Sharan Sharma and actor Rajkummar Rao, Angad added, “Honesty and vulnerability and insecurities. Makes him such a fine Mr Mahi.
