Janhvi Kapoor shared a behind-the-scenes video of Mr. & Mrs. Mahi. In the video she gives glimpses of the rigorous training she went through to learn cricket for her role in the film. In the video, she also talks about suffering several injuries while preparing for the film.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Janhvi wrote, “The two years of training that went into this film that was such a huge part of my routine and life which no one saw. Feels weird looking back at myself in all different shapes and sizes and levels of my game but the one thing that stayed with me the most was the courage, motivation, guidance and strength I got from the faith that both my coaches had in me. @abhisheknayar and @vikrant_yeligeti thank you for everything!! And sorry for all the days I was irritating, I know there were a few.”

In the video, we see Janhvi playing cricket and improving her form. Her trainers also share how they had to turn her into a cricketer even when she didn’t know much about the sport in the first place. We also see Janhvi struggling at times to keep up with the pressure. She suffered several injuries and dislocated both her shoulders.

Janhvi also responded to a person who made fun of her injuries. “Tennis ball me v injury hone laga (You can get injured while playing with a tennis ball?)”. The actor wrote, “Injury season ball se hui thi, injuries ke baad tennis ball se khelna pada. Bandages dekhenge to samajh jayenge ke yeh saare videos injuries ke baad hain (I got injured while playing with the season ball, had to play with a tennis ball after getting injured. If you see the bandages, you will realize that these videos were after the injury).”

She also wrote, “Mazak udane se pehle agar video theek de dekh le te toh shayad main bhi aapke joke pe hasti (If you had watched the video before making fun of me, I would also have laughed at your joke).” The man apologised to Janhvi.

Reacting to the video, Janhvi’s fans and followers dropped encouraging and heartening comments for her. One person wrote, “People keep blaming Janhvi for nepotism, but out of all starkids she’s the only one taking the difficult and tougher route,” another person wrote, “Only starkid after ranbir Kapoor 👏👏,” yet another person wrote, “Hope the movie is a roaring success!!.”

Janhvi had shared about dislocating both her shoulders while learning how to play the game and training at the film’s trailer launch event. She had said, “Our director is a purist and works with a lot of honesty, so he wanted me to become a cricketer for the film. He didn’t want any cheating on that, didn’t want to use VFX, or do anything half-heartedly. He wanted me to be one with this universe, be a cricketer wholeheartedly. I suffered a lot of injuries as well while prepping. Both my shoulders were dislocated, but I’d like to give all the credit to him, the director, and both my coaches Abhishek Nayar and Vikrant sir, who have done a lot of hard work and have held my hand at every turn.”

Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao is now in theatres.
