Fawad Khan, the Pakistani heartthrob, has been making headlines ever since the announcement of his Bollywood comeback. Known for his immense fanbase in India, Fawad was recently asked in an interview if he is still in touch with his Bollywood co-stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and director Karan Johar. The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actor responded, “I’m in touch on and off. Hamari baat ho jaati hai kabhi chat pe (We often chat on WhatsApp) and on the phone. I have enjoyed a very good relationship with the Kapoor family and there is still a lot of love and respect even with Karan and Shakun. Dostiyaan hai and then there’s some producer friends jiske saath gaap shap lagi rehti hai (I am in touch with some of my producer friends as well) aur then we make plans of meeting somewhere. So on and off we talk, we keep in touch and we’re still very cordial and still very friendly and there’s no love lost.”
