The actor said, “We are two very different people. We are friends, yes, but we are not thick as thieves because we are two very different people. She’s more of a very introvert, quiet and shy kind of a person and I’m more on the bratty side. I like to make friends. I joke around and we share very both different personalities for us to be as thick as friends.”

Karan added, “Having said that, there’s never been any bad blood either. So, people often mistake that if we say ‘hi, hello’ then people take that as ‘Oh My God, there’s a cold war going on’. I mean, what the f*** is a cold war? There’s either a war or it’s cold. We can’t have a cold war as simple as that.”
