Koffee With Karan 9: Varun Dhawan recalls Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘sleepy’ makeup routine. How the Peddi actress uses milk, malai and honey for a natural glow

Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan graced the ninth and final season of Koffee With Karan. The celebrity chat show, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, premiered on JioHotstar on October 14. Before Janhvi and Varun, Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda and Salman Khan-Karishma Kapoor appeared on the show. Janhvi and Varun, who have worked together in Bawaal (2023) and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025), displayed their playful camaraderie. During a candid confession, Varun recalled a time when Janhvi was so sleepy that she got her makeup done on the bed.

Janhvi Kapoor’s makeup-on-the-bed

The Border 2 actor said that the hilarious incident happened when he was shooting for Sunny Sanskari. Meanwhile, Janhvi chimed in, stating that she was doing double shifts back then and was extremely exhausted, leading to the makeup-on-bed episode.

Varun had even shared a glimpse of the same on Instagram. The clip showed Janhvi, barely able to open her eyes as her makeup was being done by a MUA. ‘When you are too sleepy to do your makeup,’ read Varun’s side note. His caption was a nod to Janhvi’s character Tulsi from their 2025 rom-com. It said, ‘Meri tulsi perfect hain (My tulsi is perfect).’

Janhvi Kapoor’s skincare

When it comes to skincare, Janhvi Kapoor follows a simple mantra: milk, malai, honey and yoghurt. In a past interview with Mashable India, Janhvi revealed that she prefers to use natural products on her skin, including fruits. She also mixes rose glycerin and water and applies it to her skin. Whenever Janhvi feels sweaty, she takes a shower. The Peddi actress claims that it opens up her pores.

Janhvi creates hydrating masks by blending yoghurt, honey and mashed seasonal fruits like bananas. She even scrubs her face using half-cut oranges. Apart from that, Janhvi swears by facial steaming: washing her face with water and then using a towel over her head to trap heat for a few minutes.
