Apart from that the writing also sets it apart.” Throwing light on his character, he shared “Karan believes in compartmentalization, he thinks that we can’t find everything in just one person. There should be a friend, a girlfriend, everything compartmentalised basically. He thinks that’s the way of modern love.”

We have a very healthy friendship. Everyone has a different kind of bond right and in our case we have an equal amount of love and respect for each other.

When asked about the shooting scenes and improvisation them, he mentioned, “It was our director’s idea basically. He was always like – bring on whatever suggestion you have, and he used to listen and consider them too. It wasn’t like he just asked for the ideas and never considered.”
