Mumbai: JioHotstar continues to bolster its content lineup with the exclusive digital release of Mere Husband Ki Biwi, a quirky romantic comedy from the house of Puja Films. Produced by Vashu Bhagnani and directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film features a power-packed ensemble cast including Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Rakul Preet Singh, Harsh Gujral, Dino Morea, and Aditya Seal. The title joins JioHotstar’s growing slate of original and blockbuster content aimed at engaging urban audiences through high-spirited storytelling.
A modern twist on the classic love triangle, Mere Husband Ki Biwi centers around Ankur (Arjun Kapoor), a man ready to propose to his longtime college crush Antara (Rakul Preet Singh), when his ex-wife Prabhleen (Bhumi Pednekar) unexpectedly reappears — with amnesia and a whole lot of unfinished business. What follows is a comedy of errors where identities blur and emotions run high, all stitched together with moments of heartfelt realization.
Mudassar Aziz, Director of Mere Husband Ki Biwi, shared, “This is a film where heartbreak, humour and hindsight collide in the most unexpected way. We’ve taken a complex emotional situation and spun it into something joyfully chaotic. I had an absolute blast making this film — and we are looking forward to reaching out to a wider audience with JioHotstar.”
Arjun Kapoor, reflecting on his role, said, “Ankur is a character that audiences have connected with since Ki & Ka and 2 States. In this film, he’s hilariously stuck between his past and present in the most ridiculous way possible. It’s rare for a comedy to offer this much emotional depth amidst all the madness. At its core, it’s a classic love triangle. Rakul, Bhumi, Harsh, and I had an absolute blast shooting this. Now that the film is releasing on JioHotstar, I’m excited to see the reactions of those who missed it in theatres.”
Rakul Preet Singh, who plays Antara, noted, “Antara is sensible, grounded and right in the middle of this madness. The fun lies in watching her keep it together while everything around her spins out of control. Mere Husband Ki Biwi is a perfect mix of comedy and drama – it is a ride filled with awkward, uncomfortable yet funny moments. I had such a great time shooting it, working with the entire cast & crew involved will always be a fond memory.”
Bhumi Pednekar, portraying the unpredictable Prabhleen, added, “Prabhleen is a whole mood! She is so unpredictable and funny that as an actor, it was such a different experience. It is a wild ride of a role and Mudassar sir was a great guide throughout the process. It was also such fun working with Arjun, Rakul and the rest of the team – I am excited that a wider audience gets to now stream it on JioHotstar.”
With its blend of sharp writing, compelling performances, and laugh-out-loud moments, Mere Husband Ki Biwi stands as a strong addition to JioHotstar’s comedy catalogue. The film offers not only entertainment but a fresh look at relationships, timing, and the complications that come with love — past and present.
Watch the chaos unfold — Mere Husband Ki Biwi is now streaming exclusively on JioHotstar.
