‘Bebo ke baby hai’ — Vijay Varma laughed out loud saying these words, sharing the inside joke from the sets of his and Kareena Kapur Khan’s upcoming Netflix thriller film Jaane Jaan, at a teaser of his appearance on Shehnaaz Gill’s YouTube talk show Desi Vibes.
Dropped by Shehnaaz on Instagram on Wednesday, the teaser shows Vijay telling the host that he and his Jaane Jaan co-star Jaideep Ahlawt used to crack the joke among themselves.
The actor also revealed that Jaideep was actually his batchmate at Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), much like the Sujoy Ghosh-directed Netflix film in which their characters are old friends.
Jaane Jaan, based on Keigo Higashino’s novel The Devotion of Suspect X, will start streaming on Netflix from September 21.
In the teaser, Shehnaaz is also seen making Vijay blush, telling him that she was feeling flustered as he was as “hot” as Kareena. She also asked the actor about his real-life “jaane jaan” with whom he shares a "healthy relationship". Vijay, however, mischievously skirts the question.
When Shehnaaz rephrased the question, asking Vijay whose “jaane jaan” he is, the actor responds with the name of his Lust Stories 2 co-star Tamannaah Bhatia.
The full episode of Desi Vibes featuring Vijay will be released on Shehnaaz’s YouTube channel on September 17 at 11:11am.
Shehnaaz, who is a former Big Boss contestant, also teased the appearance of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 (2023) winner Elvish Yadav on her talk show with a series of pictures with him.
There have so far been 13 episodes of Desi Vibes featuring celebrities like actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and spiritual leader BK Shivani.
