She stated to the host Anaita Shroff Adajania about how Pankaj compared acting as cooking mutton. Janhvi spoke about what happened after she joined the conversation. The actor stated, “Sir, paraap toh ice cream ho, aap sabko pasand ho (You are like ice cream. Everyone likes you). Right after I said it, he gave me a look.”

The Dhadak actor added, “He probably thinks I am a creep, but yes I feel he is a legendary actor and there is no one like Pankaj sir. I couldn’t hold back and immediately expressed my fondness for him.”

We can’t wait to see the onscreen camaraderie between Janhvi and Pankaj in the film!
