Less than 24
hours are left for the release of Janhvi Kapoor’s debut film, Dhadak,
co-starring Ishaan Khatter. The makers held a special screening of the film at
Juhu, for the film industry members. Ishaan Khatter arrived with mom Neelima
Azeem, Bhaiya-Bhabhi- Shahid Kapoor & Mira Rajput, while Janhvi Kapoor
arrived with sisters, Anshula and Khushi Kapoor. Arjun Bhaiya and dad Boney
Kapoor too joined in.
As Janhvi’s film
is inching towards the release, Kapoor clan is likely to get emotional and
anxious, for obvious reasons. And the same happened at the screening. According
to our sources, as the film ended Janhvi broke down as Arjun and Boney warmly
hugged her.
Screening which
took place at YRF studios, saw Madhuri Dixit, Sara Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor,
Karan Johar, Malaika Arora, Kartik Aryan, Rekha, director Shashank Khaitan with
wife, Kunal Kemmu, Soha Ali
Khan, newlyweds Neha Dhupia-Angad Bedi, Sonakshi Sinha, TV celebs Arjun Bijlani
and Tushar Kalia among others in attendance.
A few days back,
in conversation with Bombay Times, when was Janhvi asked if she always aspired to
be an actress, she had said, “As a child, I didn’t think of being an actor,
even my mom didn’t want me to. However, I think in my head I already thought
that I was an actor. In my school days, people would think that I was
schizophrenic, because I would make up these wack stories. I remember, calling
up my friend and saying that I am a secret agent and that I need to spy on
someone in school. They would believe me. Once I told my friends that Shakira
has flown down to Mumbai to personally teach me belly dancing, so now, I can
teach all of you. My friends’ parents called up mom and asked, ‘You got Shakira
down? How is she? That’s so cool, could you send Janhvi home so she can teach
my daughter’. My mom would be amused by all my stories. I was like this comedy
character at home.”
Dhadak will hit
theatres tomorrow (July 20), and we’re sure fans can’t keep calm.
