Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, who is currently on a promotional spree for her upcoming film ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi' attended the Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru match in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

The Narendra Modi Stadium witnessed a topsy-turvy game, with momentum swinging like a pendulum, keeping the fans at the edge of their seats. Rajasthan Royals ended their four-match winless run in the Indian Premier League and bounced back just at the right moment to seal their place in Qualifier 2 following a 4-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminator.

As fans saw Janhvi in the stands with internet sensation Orry, they began tossing their phones at the two seeking selfies. However, in the fun bargain, Janhvi was nearly hurt in the chest after a fan threw their phone at her, leaving the actress shocked yet calm and composed laughing it away.

Earlier, Janhvi shed light on the arduous journey she embarked on to step into the shoes of her character, Mahi, a doctor turned cricketer.

With the trailer already released, excitement is building among fans. During the promotion, Janhvi revealed the strenuous preparation she underwent for her role, which involved rigorous strength training and a demanding fitness regimen.

The 27-year-old actor shared, "I wasn't very radiant while shooting for this film. When I started preparing for this film, I was promoting 'Good Luck Jerry'. I was possibly shooting for 'Mili' and I was about 8-9 kilos heavier. Sharan was very stressed and told me that I didn't look like a cricketer. He said if I really wanted to do this film, I needed to start losing weight and begin cricket training."

This marked the beginning of an intense transformation for Janhvi. Her daily routine was packed with physical training, guided by her coach, Abhishek Nair.

"My daily routine was very intense. I was at the peak of my training, and my coach, Abhishek Nair, said that the training I was undergoing was more intense as what they did with their IPL players," Janhvi elaborated.

'Mr & Mrs Mahi' marks Janhvi's second collaboration with director Sharan Sharma, who previously helmed 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.' The film also reunites her with Rajkummar Rao, following their successful pairing in 'Roohi.' Backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the film is set to hit theatres on May 31.
