Kanwaljit Singh has recently gained a lot of attention for his role in the film Mrs., where he plays the cold and demanding father-in-law to Sanya Malhotra’s character, Richa. His portrayal of the tough, unapproachable character left a lasting impression, making him the subject of many online discussions. From being labeled a “khadoos sasurji” (grumpy father-in-law) to a “certified pookie” (someone difficult to deal with), Kanwaljit’s character in Mrs. has sparked a rollercoaster of reactions. However, the actor recently took to social media to share a lighthearted video that offered his fans the closure they had been looking for.
Kanwaljit’s Sweet Gesture in a New Video
In the video, Kanwaljit’s character undergoes a charming role reversal. Instead of being the distant and demanding father-in-law, he shows a completely different side of himself. The actor is seen happily cooking in the kitchen and preparing a meal for a woman, whom he calls “beta”—a term he used for his daughter-in-law in the movie. He lovingly mentions that the dish he made is based on his “daughter-in-law’s recipe,” adding a personal touch to the scene.
As he serves her the food, the woman sits down to eat in her pajamas. Kanwaljit Singh, eager to hear words of praise, hovers over her, much like his character in Mrs. did while waiting for approval. However, instead of expressing gratitude, the woman casually says, “Namak kamm hai” (it’s not salty enough), a line reminiscent of the critical and picky men in the movie. Kanwaljit’s face falls, and he resignedly walks back into the kitchen, a humorous twist to the role he played in the film.
Fans Enjoy the Role Reversal and Humor
The video quickly became a hit among fans, who loved seeing Kanwaljit in a much softer light. Many commented on the clever role reversal, with one fan saying, “Loved this! Role reversal! Ab jara chutney bhi bana dijiye” (Now, make some chutney too). Another fan shared their appreciation, commenting, “On behalf of the whole women community, ab pata chala” (Now you know). The humorous and relatable moment resonated with his audience, and many took to social media to praise the actor for his versatility and sense of humor.
A fan also expressed their admiration for Kanwaljit’s acting in Mrs., saying, “After such a long time… the great man is back on screen, and look how.” His fans appreciated the fact that despite playing a stern role in the film, he was able to share such a light-hearted and human moment with them, showing a different side of himself.
