Vedang Raina takes a dig at remoured girlfriend Khushi Kapoor, says she will ‘like any boy with a guitar' as they promote The Summer I Turned Pretty. Watch

Indian Express5 days ago
Rumoured couple Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina recently featured in a new promotional video dropped by Prime Video for the upcoming season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Much like the passionate fanbase of the series on social media, the duo found themselves in a playful debate over the oft-discussed question: Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah?
The video kicks off with Khushi, a self-proclaimed Conrad loyalist, hilariously offended when Vedang confidently declares himself 'Team Jellyfish.' Vedang stands by his choice, explaining, 'Jeremiah is clearly the nicer one between the two brothers, a true 'green flag'.' What follows is a comical exchange. When Khushi defends Conrad as the 'childhood crush of Belly,' Vedang cheekily retorts, 'You like any boy with a guitar.' The remark leads to a hilarious moment of reflection from Khushi, who suddenly remembers Vedang also plays the guitar and her subsequent reactions to his playful teasing and 'red flags' are really funny to watch.

For those unfamiliar, Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty sees Belly's idyllic summer with Jeremiah interrupted by Conrad's return, reigniting old emotions. As she faces adulthood, Belly must finally make a choice about where her heart truly lies. It's this central love triangle that fuels Khushi and Vedang's light-hearted banter over who the 'right' man for Belly really is. The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres every Wednesday on Prime Video.
On the professional front, Khushi Kapoor was last seen in Nadaniyaan, a project that unfortunately drew significant online trolling and criticism. Vedang Raina, meanwhile, appeared in the Alia Bhatt-starrer Jigra, which similarly failed to make a mark and was met with a wave of online backlash. Just last month, the rumoured couple was spotted by paparazzi on a movie date, seemingly making no effort to avoid being photographed together.
