They may be brave to perform a stunt in an action film or shoot in the spookiest location for their films but does that mean actors and musicians are fearless? In a recent interview with mid-day's Parul Sharma, Roohi actors Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor talked about some of their most irrational fears and phobias. Well, they are sure to take you by surprise.


"I have Trypophobia. I have a fear of clusters of small holes," Janhvi Kapoor revealed, with a clear disgust expression on her face. For the unversed, Trypophobia is most commonly called as "fear of holes" and is linked to a physiological response more associated with disgust than fear. Kapoor even revealed in the interview that one of her "irrational" fears is that she is scared of number 8. "It's a superstition, actually. I have been told that number 8 for someone else has been unlucky. But it's unlucky of someone else, so it is not universally an unlucky number. Even though, I still get scared of number 8. Anything to do with number 8. Like I avoid meeting on the 8th or 17th or 26th of the month or avoid shootings, like starting shooting on that day. On that day, the entire day I keep thinking, 'Kuch toh galat hone wala hai' (something wrong is going to happen)."


When asked about his most irrational fear, Rajkummar Rao said, "I feel that one day I won't be able to act. I feel one day I will go on a set and I just won't be able to crack it."

Talking about Roohi, which hits theatres today, March 11, the film follows the eerie yet hilarious misadventures of Bhaura played by Rajkummar and Kattanni essayed by Varun, as they cross paths with a mysterious girl named Roohi, played by Janhvi, in a jungle. They are not alone though as a scary ghost also tags along. Jio Studios and Dinesh Vijan have presented the film, which is directed by Hardik Mehta.
