Janhvi Kapoor turned vegetarian for a few days because of Pankaj Tripathi - HERE's WHY

Janhvi Kapoor is eagerly anticipating the release of her upcoming film "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi," in which she stars alongside Rajkummar Rao. The duo is actively promoting the film building excitement among fans. In a recent interview, Janhvi opened up about her deep admiration for one of her favorite actors, Pankaj Tripathi, and shared an interesting story about her efforts to work with him.

During an interview with The Lallantop, Janhvi was asked to name an actor she had always wanted to work with. Without hesitation, she mentioned Pankaj Tripathi. She recalled her experience on the sets of "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl," where she had the opportunity to act alongside him. Janhvi revealed that she had a special wish, or mannat, to make Pankaj Tripathi agree to be a part of the film. 

She confessed, "I wanted to work with Pankaj Tripathi Sir. He was on my wishlist. People present at the sets of Gunjan Saxena know that I used to behave like a crazy girl because I was a big fan of him and even today. I had a mannat to make him say yes to the film. I think for 10 or 12 days I became a vegetarian so that he says yes."

"Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl," directed by Sharan Sharma, was released in 2020. The film tells the inspiring story of Gunjan Saxena, an ambitious young woman who dreams of becoming a pilot. Drawn by the excitement of life in a cockpit, she pursues her goal with determination and eventually serves her country during the Kargil War.

Now, Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for the release of "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi." Directed by Sharan Sharma and written by Nikhil Mehrotra and Sharan Sharma, the film is backed by Zee Studios and Dharma Productions. Produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Zee Studios, the movie is set to hit the big screens on May 31, 2024.

"Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" promises to be an engaging story with Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles. As the release date approaches, fans are eagerly waiting to see this dynamic pair on screen.
