To Avoid Flirty Men, Janhvi Kapoor Says She Calls Orry Her ‘Husband’

Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor has revealed a clever tactic she uses to ward off unwanted advances from men: she pretends to be married to her friend, internet sensation Orry. In a candid chat on IMDb’s original series, Speed Dating, Janhvi shared this and other insights into her dating life.

​Speaking about the most absurd excuses she’s used to avoid men, Janhvi said, “I’ve said I’m married a lot. Someone coming up to me in person has mostly been outside of India.” She then recalled an instance where she was with Orry and used him as a cover. “I was with Orry once and said he’s my husband,” she said.

​On Romance and First Dates

​Janhvi, who is rumored to be dating Shikhar Pahariya, also shared her thoughts on first dates. She said that punctuality is very important to her and that a romantic partner should “show up early” and “seem nervous.”

​When asked about the most romantic gesture someone has ever done for her, Janhvi recalled a time when someone took a very long trip from London to Mumbai just to see her for five hours because she had a bad dream and was panicking. “That meant a lot to me,” she said.

​About Her Film Param Sundari

 

​Janhvi’s film, Param Sundari, was released in theatres on August 29. The film, which also stars Sidharth Malhotra, is a love story that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. Directed by Tushar Jalota, it also features Rajeev Khandelwal, Aakash Dahiya, and Manjot Singh.
