The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actor replied, “I’m in touch on and off. Hamari baat ho jaati hai kabhi chat pe (We often chat on whatsapp) and on phone so I’ve been in touch and 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 so dostiyaan hai and then there’s some producers 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.”
