Actress Janhvi Kapoor, who is preparing for the release of Mr & Mrs Mahi alongside RajKummar Rao, recently discussed the experience of filming intimate scenes with her co-star Rajkummar Rao.

Responding to a fan's question, Janhvi revealed they were "dying inside" after a 20-hour shift when they had to film the intimate scene. "Most of mine and Raj’s romantic moments in the movie, we were completely exhausted. Like I think one of our first romantic moments was after a 20-hour shift, and both of us were feeling like we were dead. We had bad tummies, our bodies were broken, and then we had to look like we were falling in love and we were going to have our first kiss, but really, we were feeling like we were dying inside," Janhvi explained.

At a promotional event for the upcoming film, Janhvi expressed her excitement about reuniting with Rajkummar. "During Roohi, we wanted to do more comedy, romantic, and dramatic scenes with each other. We've got a chance to do all those things in this film. I've always been a fan of RajKummar and honestly, he has made my work easier. Just like our characters, Mahima and Mahendra, supported each other in the film, Rajkummar helped me exactly like that when we were shooting. He gave me strength and I believe I've become a better artist because of him," she said.

In Mr & Mrs Mahi, Janhvi and RajKummar will portray cricketers, and the film will focus on their imperfectly perfect partnership. Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the movie is set to release in theaters on May 31.
