The Manjari Phadnis & Arbaaz Khan partnership
From Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu (2015) to Nirdosh (2018). It started with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu (2015).
The shape of the work
Manjari Phadnis acted in every film; Arbaaz Khan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Arbaaz Khan personally called Manjari Phadnis to offer her the lead in 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu' (2015) after seeing her in a Marathi film. She said yes without reading the full script.
- On the sets of 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai' (2017), Arbaaz would deliberately flub his lines to make Manjari laugh during serious scenes. She told a reporter it was his way of breaking her nervousness before emotional takes.
- Their third film 'Nirdosh' (2018) was the only hit of Manjari's entire Hindi career. It also marked the first time Arbaaz produced a film where he didn't cast his brother Salman — he bet on himself and Manjari instead.
- After 'Nirdosh' wrapped, Arbaaz gifted Manjari a gold necklace with both their initials. She still wears it in Instagram posts years later.
- Manjari said in a 2018 interview: 'Arbaaz is the only co-star who calls me before every single audition to wish me luck. He doesn't have to, but he does.'
