In the latest episode of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show: Season 2,’ Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor shared a charming yet humorous tale of how a well-intentioned plan to help a friend take a turn for the unexpected. The anecdote, which has become the talk of the town, was highlighted in a recent promo, igniting excitement among fans and viewers.
The promo, unveiled by the show’s creators via their official Instagram account, features Janhvi Kapoor alongside co-stars Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan. The trio was promoting their upcoming film ‘Devara: Part 1,’ a much-anticipated action thriller. The film’s team was warmly welcomed by the ever-charismatic host, Kapil Sharma, whose comic timing amplifies the storytelling charm of the show. The makers intriguingly captioned the post, “Where do you get friends like these? Asking for myself. Watch @jrntr, @janhvikapoor, and Saif Ali Khan on #TheGreatIndianKapilShow only on Netflix!”
The video commences with Janhvi Kapoor recalling an incident involving a close friend who had recently experienced a breakup. Eager to console her friend and boost her spirits, Janhvi narrated how she proposed a crafty plan aimed at making the friend’s ex-boyfriend envious.
“So, basically I had a friend who had a breakup, and she was trying to make her ex-boyfriend jealous,” Janhvi started, drawing attention with her earnest recounting. “As a true friend and a sister, I thought I’d wear a sweatshirt so she could click a backshot of me and post it on Instagram, then her ex-boyfriend could be curious to find out about who the guy is that she’s holidaying with, in the Swiss Alps just one week after the breakup.”
The concept seemed foolproof: a strategic photograph depicting Janhvi in a way that would spark curiosity and hopefully, a tinge of jealousy in the ex-boyfriend’s heart. Dressed in a non-descript sweatshirt, the image was supposed to suggest that her friend had swiftly moved on and was reveling in a Swiss resort with a new beau. However, the outcome was far from what they had anticipated.
“Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend didn’t care,” revealed Janhvi with a laugh, as her listeners, including Kapil Sharma and the other guests, grinned along.
. “He didn’t even send a message after she posted the photograph.”
In sharing this anecdote, Janhvi Kapoor highlighted the quirks and unpredictability of human relationships and social media strategies. The light-hearted story added a human touch to the glamorous world of Bollywood, showing that even celebrities engage in the same kind of whimsical tactics as everyone else.
