Wednesday, 18 July 2018 11:26

‘Dhadak’ starring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter is one of the most awaited films of this year.

With just 4 days to its release, the movie has created immense buzz ever since its announcement. The trailer of the movie too received immense appreciation and accolades from fans and critics. While Ishaan is already one movie old in the Bollywood industry, Janhvi will be making her big debut with ‘Dhadak’, and fans can’t wait to see her create magic on screen.The two stars of the movie are busy promoting their film in different cities in the country.

They constantly share updates on social media and their candid BTS videos are quite fun to watch. It is quite an established fact that they have established a rather close bond with each other. In an interview with a daily, Janhvi opened up on how she first met Ishaan and what she likes and dislikes about her ‘Dhadak’ co-actor.

She had first met Ishaan for a brief moment during the screening of Shahid Kapoor’s film ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ and after that they got a chance to meet at the Dharma office when director Shashank Khaitan called them to discuss ‘Dhadak’.

Janhvi revealed that Ishaan came across as an extremely positive person, full of energy. Complimenting him further she said how she was impressed with him and felt that he was unlike anyone she had ever met before. Janhvi professed how they got to know each other better during the shoot of ‘Dhadak’, and their script-reading sessions and recces brought them closer and made them bond like nothing else could have. She quipped that apart from him being an amazingly talented, enthusiastic and a passionate person, the only thing she dislikes and gets irritated about him is when he gives her gym gyaan. He apparently keeps giving her instructions about forms and the dos and don’ts, however, she doesn’t really listen to him.
