Gajraj Rao Reveals He Was Apprehensive About Badhaai Ho

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Gajraj said, "When we were shooting, I somewhere knew that it will be a good film and will be received well, but it was Ayushmann Khurrana who always said that Badhaai Ho will change Neena Gupta and my life. At that time, I thought that he was only motivating us. But when I saw people queueing up outside theatres, I realised how true his words were."

He continued, "When I told my wife that it was a story about a couple expecting a child in their 50s and that people might make fun of me, she blatantly stated that I was no Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh, and even if the film does not work, it won't affect my career or image. So I decided to go ahead with it."

Gajraj stars opposite Neena Gupta in the film. Badhaai Ho was directed by Amit Ravindernath. The film also starred Ayushmann, Sanya Malhotra and Surekha Sikri.
