Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor is fond of Pankaj Tripathi with whom she is working in IAF pilot Gunjan Saxena biopic. In Dharma Productions' project, Pankaj is playing the father of Janhvi. Talking about him in a chat show, Janhvi said that the Stree actor thinks she is a creep.
During a conversation with host Anaita Shroff Adajania on an episode of Voot's "Feet up with the Stars", the "Dhadak" actress said that she has great respect for Pankaj. The daughter of late Sridevi narrated an incident from a party where she heard Pankaj drawing similarities between acting and cooking mutton. Janhvi joined the conversation and expressed her views.
"Sir, par aap toh ice cream ho, aap sabko pasand ho (You are like an ice cream. Everyone likes you). Right after I said it, he gave me a look," Janhvi said. "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," she added.
On the film front, Janhvi will be seen in producer Dinesh Vijan's film Rooh-Afza starring Rajkummar Rao and Karan Johar's multi-starrer Takht.
