Fawad revealed, ‘I’m in touch on and off. Hamari baat ho jaati hai kabhi chat pe (We talk sometimes on chat) and on phone, so I’ve been in touch. 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 (friendships) hai.’

He continued, ‘And then there are some producer friends with whom I keep chatting, and we make plans to meet somewhere. So, on and off, we talk, we keep in touch, and we’re still very cordial and friendly. There’s no love lost.’
