"I don't usually do dance numbers, hence this was exciting" - Kirti Kulhari on 'Khichdi 2' song Vande Rakha

Known for her versatility and her diverse choice of roles, Kirti Kulhari made her Bollywood debut with the iconic family entertainer Khichdi as Punjabi Kudi Parminder. Parminder’s character garnered tremendous critical and fan acclaim, and the actress elated the enthusiasm of her fans by being a part of Khichdi 2. Recently, the makers dropped the song Vande Rakha from the film, showcasing JD Majethia and Kirti Kulhari’s sparkling chemistry.

Speaking about her experience reuniting with JD and shooting the song in Switzerland, Kirti said, “When I heard Vande Rakha for the first time, I fell in love in love with it. The quirkiness of the song instantly; it sounded like such a cool song to dance on, and as it is choreographed by Ganesh Acharya it just felt perfect. I feel everything about the song worked out so beautifully, and the dance steps are so quirky and fun. I had almost forgotten that JD is such a great dancer till I was reminded of it, day in and day out during the rehearsals of Vand Rakha and Nach Nach (she says jokingly)."

She added, “JD is an absolute sweetheart, and I always pull his leg, and he welcomes it sportingly, which I really appreciate about him. It was a crazy shoot in Switzerland with dancers, and with Ganesh Ji, a Bollywood song in that extremely cold weather is something I feel Bollywood lives for the taste of. I don't usually do dance numbers. Hence, it was really exciting and thrilling for me as I got to do something I usually don't, and my fans got to see me in a completely different avatar I think I just love what we've managed to achieve with the song and I hope people really resonate with it and have their own fun with it.”

In the film, Kirti Kulhari plays the role of JD Majhetia's love interest and is all set to surprise the audience with her comic presence on the silver screen. On the work front, Kirti announced her international debut with ‘Sach is Life’ and will be seen next in ‘Khichdi 2 - Mission Paanthukistan' which is all set to hit theatres on November 17th, 2023.
