Bollywood stars Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao are gearing up for their upcoming film Mr & Mrs Mahi, slated to release on May 31.

Janhvi Kapoor responded to his comeback by asking if it was meant as a taunt directed at her.
Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor's fun banter on nepotism
Janhvi Kapoor reminisced about her school days, recalling an incident where she was part of a choir but had her microphone intentionally turned off while performing because of her inability to sing well.
During a conversation with Mirchi Plus, she said, "The mic in front of my face was switched off intentionally. The woman said ‘Janhvi ke saamne vale mic ko off karo (Switch off the mic in front of Janhvi.)’."
Rajkummar responded, “Rakha kyu bechari ko fir? Mana kar dete (Why did they keep her in the choir? Could have said no).” Janhvi, in a joking way, answered, “Nepotism, of course. Isliye toh rakha tha mujhe choir mein (That’s why they kept me in the choir).”
Rajkummar Rao responded with a perfect retort to her nepotism joke, surprising Janhvi with his answer. He replied, “Fir toh theek hai. Fir toh kaash zindagi mein bhi hum bahut saare mics off kar pate (Then it’s okay. Then I wish we had the ability to switch off many other mics).”
Janhvi, taken aback, asked, “Is that a taunt to me?” Rajkummar reassured her that it wasn't, reminding her that they were working together for the second time after Roohi which was released in 2022.
