Vaani Kapoor Praises Fawad Khan, Says He Was Born for Cinema

Bollywood’s latest onscreen duo has us hooked — and it’s more than just their fiery chemistry in Abir Gulaal. In a recent viral interview, Indian actor Vaani Kapoor openly praised her Pakistani co-star Fawad Khan, saying, “He was so sweet, so collaborative, and wonderful to work with.” Reflecting on their experience together, she instantly described Fawad as “Charming,” adding, “I think he’s born for cinema, for films.”

On screen, Fawad mirrors the admiration. In Abir Gulaal’s second track Angreji Rangrasiya, the Pakistani heartthrob can’t take his eyes off Vaani as she dazzles the dance floor. The song opens with her grand entrance — riding in on a bike in a leather jacket, then spinning into the frame in a mustard ghagra choli. As Rajasthani folk meets modern beats, Vaani matches every note with perfectly timed thumkas — and Fawad’s smitten expression says it all.

Fans have flooded social media with reactions. “That screen presence is unmatched!” one user wrote. Another added, “This is a whole new side of Vaani and I’m here for it!” Their flirtatious closing moments in the song only heighten the buzz ahead of the film’s May 9 release.

Vaani’s admiration for Fawad isn’t new. Long before Abir Gulaal, she called herself a fan. In a BBC Asian Network interview last year, she said, “I love his work. I watched a couple of his shows with my mom back in the day. I think audiences in India love him for the artist he is — and for his supreme talent.”

With Vaani’s grace and Fawad’s magnetic screen presence, Abir Gulaal promises a cinematic spectacle. Their offscreen camaraderie and onscreen spark suggest this pairing isn’t just charming — it’s electric.
