Ahead of its highly anticipated World TV Premiere, the cast of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari — Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf and Maniesh Paul — came together for a vibrant and candid roundtable hosted by Star Gold.

The lively discussion offered fans a closer look at the camaraderie shared by the ensemble, along with some surprisingly relatable confessions about their personal lives.

As the conversation unfolded, it veered into the stars’ own dating experiences. Janhvi Kapoor revisited her teenage years, recalling a high school heartbreak when she was dumped by a boy she liked.

Her honest recollection added a nostalgic touch to the chat. Sanya Malhotra, on the other hand, spoke about the nuances of contemporary relationships, reflecting on the confusion and grey areas that often define modern-day romance, including her own experience of navigating a “situationship.”

Keeping the mood upbeat, the group later engaged in a playful segment where they decoded trending dating lingo, turning the roundtable into an entertaining mix of humour and heartfelt storytelling.

Audiences can catch this fun-filled and engaging conversation along with the World TV Premiere of the family entertainer Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari exclusively on Star Gold this Sunday, February 22, at 1 PM.

The film revolves around Sunny and Tulsi, who are left heartbroken after their respective partners, Ananya and Vikram, leave them to marry each other. Refusing to wallow in despair, the duo joins forces in a bid to disrupt their exes’ wedding, setting the stage for a romantic comedy packed with emotions, drama and light-hearted moments.

Originally released last year, the romantic drama is also available for streaming on Netflix. Moneycontrol’s review of the film reads: "At its core, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ is a glossy family romance designed to entertain in passing. It will make you smile in spurts and perhaps chuckle at its lighter moments, but it never aspires to be more than a safe, formulaic rom-com. For audiences looking for depth, originality, or memorable storytelling, the film offers little. For those happy with song-and-dance escapism, it plays like harmless filler on a weekend evening."

Despite receiving mixed responses from viewers and critics alike, the film managed to collect approximately Rs 98.35 crore worldwide at the box office, reflecting its moderate commercial success.
