For Janhvi Kapoor, Sunday night was all about watching the 2007 film Life In A Metro. Janhvi's Instagram stories are proof. The actress posted a few glimpses of her movie night on the platform. In her Instagram stories, we see two scenes of Life In A Metro which feature late actor Irrfan Khan.

In February last year, Irrfan, who was battling with neuroendocrine tumour since 2018, had shared an emotional message on the Internet ahead of the trailer release of Angrezi Medium. The video featured a few stills from the 2020 film and Irrfan's voiceover in which the actor shared that he is unable to promote the film due to his ailing health.
"I am with you and not with you. This film, Angrezi Medium, is very special to me. I truly wanted to promote this film as passionately as we made it, but there are some 'unwanted guests' in my body and they're keeping me busy. I'll keep you informed on that front..." Irrfan had said.
Coming back to Kudi Nu Nachne De, Janhvi Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, Kriti Sanon and others, who were featured in the track came together to promote Irrfan's film Angrezi Medium.
Irrfan Khan died on April 29, 2020. Janhvi had paid a tribute to the late actor on the platform as she remembered him. The actress posted his picture and wrote a note which read, "There are no words to sum up what you have given us with your unparalleled work and artistry. There are no words to sum up the loss that all of us feel today. May you rest in peace."
Speaking of Life In A Metro, Irrfan Khan was paired opposite Konkona Sen Sharma in the film. Irrfan played the role of Monty, a man who is in his late 30s and is eager to get married.
