During the promotions of MX Player’s Original Series, Miya, Biwi Aur Murder, Manjari Fadnnis revealed a weird rumor that had left her in shock. She revealed, “Someone randomly congratulated me on my wedding with Rajeev Khandelwal. And I was shocked to hear that. My instant reaction was like who, me, who got married and to who? I realized this much later that our names (mine and his wife is called Manjiri) are almost similar that the industry people got confused.”

Talking about the bond between the two ladies with almost the same name, Rajeev Khandelwal said, “Manjari and Manjiri are both good friends now. I was apprehensive of what would media write as I was now working with Manjari Fadnnis and how would it be perceived as their names are so similar. But there was no stress. Manjiri is cool with me doing intimate scenes. Also, it was great fun to work with Manjari. It never felt like I met her for the first time.”
