Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has ventured into stand-up comedy, but her attempt has met with a tepid response from Reddit users. A video of Kapoor performing stand-up comedy has gone viral, where she humorously pleads for life-saving advice instead of superficial tips like no-makeup makeup looks. She touches on dating and highlights the risks of HPV transmission through intimate contact.

In her routine, Kapoor says, “Please love of God stop telling me which no make up make up look to try and give me some information that’s going to potentially save my life right? Don’t tell me about red flag. Tell me about the Red Cross. Date toh achhi chali jayegi but what do you need to be careful of? Date achhi gayi toh kya karenge hum? HPV is a virus that spreads from intimate skin to skin contact. No, not handshakes, not cheek pulls. We mean like really intimate skin to skin contact.”

However, Redditors were largely unimpressed. One comment read, “Someone wrote that up for her. And STILL … so dull. Are we supposed to laugh now? The entire industry is so boring at this point of time.” Another added, “How is any of those sentences funny? It’s so boring and bland.”

In related news, Janhvi Kapoor recently hosted an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit. The session, originally posted under the BollyBlindsNGossip subreddit and later moved to the R/India subreddit, did not go as planned. The actress announced the AMA, mirroring her best friend Orry’s previous session. Instead of engaging questions, Kapoor faced trolling and inappropriate comments, amassing over 400 responses.

Amid the mixed reception of her comedy and AMA, Kapoor’s latest film, Mr & Mrs Mahi, directed by Sharan Sharma and co-starring Rajkummar Rao, premiered in Mumbai on Monday night. The film has garnered positive reviews, with celebrities like Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Angad Bedi, and Neha Dhupia sharing favorable reactions on their Instagram Stories.
