Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) The trailer of the upcoming film ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead, was unveiled in the Lower Parel area of Mumbai on Sunday.

The trailer presents a riveting story of a husband going to the edge of the world to protect his wife’s dream.

The trailer, which is 2 minutes and 55 seconds in length, begins with Rajkummar and Janhvi’s character introducing each other as they break the ice prior to their marriage.

The couple then discovers their shared passion for cricket before it is revealed that Rajkummar’s character in the film is a former cricketer, who couldn’t make it big because of a poor support system.

The trailer also has the reprise version of ‘Dekha Tenu Pehli Pehli Baar Ve’ from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’.

When he sees his wife hitting it out of the park at a match, he decides to help her realise her dream but not without resistance from his wife herself. Janhvi’s character, who is a doctor, questions her husband’s decision as he tells her that he will coach her.

The game tests their bond but Rajkummar doesn’t back down neither as her coach nor as her robust support system.

‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’ marks the second collaboration between Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor. The two had previously shared the screen space in ‘Roohi’. Produced by Dharma Productions, and directed by Sharan Sharma, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ is set to release on May 31.

Shriya told IANS: “My mother is my compass and my biggest source of strength. We have always been very close and more like friends. She had me when she herself was young so in a way it always felt like we both grew up together, holding each other’s hand. It’s incredible how she balanced a thriving acting career while being equally present and involved in every aspect of my childhood and adolescent years. I love that she was never over-protective but truly encouraged me to be an explorer, to have a curious mind, be fearless and constantly have that hunger to learn.”

She further mentioned that she gets her adventurous streak from her mother and they love travelling together.

Supriya Pilgaonkar is a well-established name in Marathi cinema and entertainment industry and is married to actor Sachin Pilgaonkar.

She added: “I have also been inspired by the performer that she is one of the finest actors we have and I have immense love and respect for the instinct and grace she brings as an artist. She has the best sense of humour and is constantly making me laugh.”

“We have done a few ads and a short film together so would love to work with her on something exciting. She is always honest with me when it comes to my work and making my parents proud is the biggest joy for me,” she added.

Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) On Mother’s Day, actress Preity Zinta penned a long heartwarming note on her motherhood phase, sharing how it’s really a job where there are no promotions, no time off and very little gratitude.

Preity, who is a mother to twin munchkins Jai and Gia, took to Instagram and shared a Reel video where we get adorable glimpses of her children, her mother and also her mother-in-law.

The ‘Veer-Zaara’ actress wrote a note which read as: “Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there… I could never have imagined, being a mother would change me so much. If someone told me 3 years ago that I would voluntarily put myself second to someone in the world, all the time, every time, I would have laughed and dismissed it! Guess what!!! I was so wrong. Now, the kids always come first. Not because I have to but because I want to. How silly and immature of me to have thought otherwise. It doesn’t matter how tired I am, how busy I am or how hungry I am, the kids always come first.”

“The happiness and pure joy I feel looking at them lights up my darkest days and I feel superhuman strength when I need to protect them. I’m sure I’m not the only mother who feels like this.”

Preity shared how it is sad that we only start appreciating our mothers when we step into that role.

“So here’s a big shout-out to all the mothers out there. The single ones, the working ones and the ones who devote all their time at home looking after their kids and families. It’s really a job where there are no promotions, no time off and very little gratitude,” she said.

The note concluded, saying: “If you are lucky they will appreciate you when you are older when they become parents otherwise it’s all about giving, loving and nurturing without any expectations So give your moms a BIG HUG & say THANK YOU A YOU LOVE THEM & APPRECIATE THEM cuz mom’s are the closest thing to God.”

Preity Zinta married Gene Goodenough at a private ceremony in Los Angeles on February 29, 2016. In 2021, they became parents to twins, a boy and a girl, through surrogacy.

On the work front, she has ‘Lahore 1947’ in the pipeline. The film is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
